Ingredients
Scale
1.2–1.5 kg side of salmon
150 g unsalted butter
120 ml honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
360 ml sour cream
120 ml chopped fresh dill
1/2 grated eschalot
1 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
150 g dried cranberries soaked in 240 ml hot orange juice
120 g toasted almonds
80 ml chopped fresh parsley
Pomegranate seeds, for garnish
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Lemon juice, to taste
Instructions
Combine all dill sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix well. In a separate bowl, soak dried cranberries in hot orange juice, then mix with toasted almonds and chopped parsley to create the tapenade. Refrigerate both until serving.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the seasoned salmon on a parchment-lined foil sheet.
Melt the butter and mix with honey and minced garlic. Pour the glaze evenly over the salmon. Wrap the salmon tightly in the foil to seal.
Place the wrapped salmon on a tray and bake for 15 minutes at 180°C.
Unwrap the salmon carefully. Switch oven to broil and place salmon under the broiler for 7 to 10 minutes until the glaze bubbles and turns golden brown.
Remove salmon from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
Top the salmon with dill sauce and tapenade. Scatter pomegranate seeds and fresh parsley over the top. Add a splash of lemon juice before serving.
