  • Servings: 2
  • Prep: 5 min
  • Cook: 25 min

Ingredients

  • 200 grams salmon
  • 50 g mayonnaise
  • 5 g cilantro, chopped
  • 0.5 unit lime, zested and juiced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 units apple, cut into wedges
  • 2 units carrot, peeled into ribbons
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Cut the apple in half, remove the core and cut each half into 4 wedges. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and mix well.
  2. Zest the skin of half a lime, being careful not to include the white pith. Peel the carrot and, using a peeler, form ribbons. Place them in a bowl and add the juice of half a lime and the sugar. Stir and set aside.
  3. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. When the apple has been in the oven for 12 minutes, turn the wedges over and place the salmon skin-side down next to the apple. Bake for another 10–12 minutes, until the apple is tender and golden and the salmon is fully cooked.
  4. In a small bowl, add half of the chopped cilantro, the mayonnaise and lime zest to taste. Season with salt and pepper, stir well and set aside.
  5. In another small bowl, add the remaining cilantro, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.
  6. To plate, place the salmon on one side of the plate and top with the dressed cilantro. Serve with the pickled carrot ribbons and roasted apple wedges. Finish with the cilantro-lime mayonnaise.
