Baking salmon in a low-temperature oven slowly melts the fat between the flesh and leaves the fillets incredibly moist and tender. Lemon and thyme, a classic Mediterranean combination, add another layer of flavor without sacrificing this dish's elegant simplicity.

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 13

300ml cider vinegar
300g caster sugar
340g fresh cranberries
½ tsp whole cloves
½ tsp juniper berries
75g panko breadcrumbs
½ tbsp dried thyme
2 tbsp sumac
1 lemon , zested
5 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for drizzling
1kg salmon fillet, pin-boned (you can ask your fishmonger to do this for you)
60g pistachios , crushed
½ small bunch of parsley , chopped, to serve

Steps:

  • Make the pickled cranberries a week or two ahead. Put the vinegar and sugar in a pan over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Stir in the remaining ingredients and continue to boil for 4 mins. Pour the mixture into a 1-litre sterilised jar, or two smaller ones, and seal well, then leave to cool. Chill in the fridge for at least a week.
  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toast the breadcrumbs in a dry frying pan for 2-3 mins until golden and toasted, then tip onto a plate and leave to cool.
  • Combine the breadcrumbs, thyme, sumac, lemon zest and some seasoning in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with the 5 tbsp olive oil and mix in thoroughly.
  • Lay a piece of baking parchment on a baking tray large enough to fit the salmon fillet. Put the salmon fillet skin-side down on top, and carefully spread the crust mixture over the top of the salmon. Don't press the mixture down too much. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
  • Bake the salmon for 20-25 mins ideally until it is just cooked and the crust has turned a golden colour. Once cooked, transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the pistachios, some drained pickled cranberries and the parsley. Try serving with buttered greens and roast new potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose thick, skin-on salmon fillets for best results. Skin-on helps keep the salmon moist and flavorful during baking.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish and can easily become dry and overcooked. Bake it just until it is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If fresh cranberries are unavailable, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices in the crust. Thyme and rosemary are both good choices, but you could also try sage, dill, or basil.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Baked salmon with cranberry-thyme crust is an elegant and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The salmon is moist and flaky, and the cranberry-thyme crust adds a sweet and savory flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table.
