Equipment
You'll need unwaxed kitchen string
Ingredients (serves 8)
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill sprigs
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 long red chilli, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon Maille wholegrain mustard
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil
2 x 650g salmon fillets, skin intact (see note) lemon wedges, to serve
Method
Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Combine parsley, chives, dill, onion, chilli, garlic, mustard, lemon juice and half the oil in a bowl.
Place 1 salmon fillet, skin side-down, on a board. Top with two-thirds of the parsley mixture. Top with remaining fillet, skin-side up. Tie with kitchen string at 3cm intervals. Rub with remaining oil. Place in a baking dish.
Cook for 15 minutes for medium-well done or until cooked to your liking. Cut into 8 slices. Serve with lemon wedges and remaining parsley mixture.
Notes
Ask your fishmonger for a whole side of salmon (1 large fillet) from a 3.5kg whole salmon. Trim tail. Cut fillet into 2 x 650g pieces.
Super Saver: Use 8 x 170g chicken breast fillets instead of salmon and save around $17 in total.
If using chicken breasts instead of salmon, cut a pocket into chicken and fill with salsa verde. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through.
