Description

Rosie Curtis, a producer of RSPCA Assured salmon for Marine Harvest, devised this lovely salmon recipe for summer suppers.

Preparation time: 40 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4.

Place the cucumber in a sieve over a bowl and leave to drain for 30 minutes. Press down with the back of a tablespoon to squeeze out excess water. Pat dry the grated cucumber with kitchen paper.

In a small bowl, stir together the cucumber, sour cream, yoghurt, dill, 1 tbsp lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Melt the butter and oil in a frying pan. Add the salmon skin-side down, season with salt and pepper and squeeze over a little lemon juice. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then gently turn the salmon over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Squeeze over a little more lemon juice and taste to check the seasoning. Place in the oven and bake for 3-4 minutes or until just cooked through.

Serve the salmon with the yoghurt sauce alongside a selection of freshly cooked vegetables and lemon wedges.
