Recipe: Honey Baked Salmon

This recipe comes from waaaaay down south. It was originally made by my Grandmother from New Zealand! We had this dish many years ago and my late mum loved it! The last time I made this recipe was when she was still around. However, I can testify that this recipe works!

Note: This recipe will not have specific measurements as they are to be adjusted depending on your portioning. Our portioning served around 4 people (with some leftovers).

Ingredients
Salmon with skin (deboned)
Lemon Wedges
Bay Leaves
Honey (Manuka, if you can find/afford it)
Rosemary
Garlic
Thyme

Instructions
Step 1: Mince your garlic. Pluck and chop your rosemary and thyme. Slice your lemon into thin wedges.
Step 2: Slice slits into your Salmon. Make it cut all the way through but don’t breach the skin.
Step 3: Stick the lemon wedges into the slits with the bay leaves.
Step 4: Sprinkle with the garlic, rosemary and thyme. Add salt to taste.
Step 5: Drizzle the whole thing with a generous amount of honey and set aside to chill for 30 minutes. Then, take out and let it go down to room temperature 30 minutes before placing it into the oven.
Step 6: While waiting for the salmon to go down to room temperature, preheat the oven to 220C.
Step 7: Stick it in and cook it for 20 minutes, or until cooked. Then, serve with Garlic Bread or some other carbohydrate.
