Ingredients
| 600g | salmon fillet |
|---|---|
| 150ml | olive oil |
| 20g | unsalted butter |
| 1 tbsp | finely chopped juniper berries |
| 2 tsp | lemon thyme leaves |
| juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon | |
| sea salt and freshly ground black pepper |
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas 6. Place a baking tray in the oven so it gets really hot.
Slice the salmon fillet very thinly, carpaccio style, working across the width of the salmon.
Cut 4 x 15cm squares of baking parchment, brush them with olive oil, dot with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle half the chopped juniper berries and half the lemon thyme over the parchment squares and lay the salmon slices on top. Season again with salt and pepper, drizzle with some more olive oil and the lemon zest, then add the rest of the lemon thyme and chopped juniper. Sprinkle on a little lemon juice.
Open the oven and carefully place the parchment squares with the salmon directly on the hot baking tray. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the salmon is just done. Take the squares off the tray and flip them over on to plates. Peel back the paper and serve.
