Roasted Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce

Roasted Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce

Premium Seafood⏱ 25 min🍽 10 servings📶 Medium

A dependable hotel and fine-dining plate: portioned salmon fillet roasted until the surface turns golden while the centre stays moist, finished with a bright lemon dill sauce. Because the portions arrive pre-cut and even, plate cost is easy to calculate and every table gets the same presentation.

Ingredients

Steps

1

Thaw the salmon in the chiller (never at room temperature) for 8–12 hours. Never refreeze salmon that has been thawed.

2

Pat the surface completely dry with kitchen paper. A wet surface steams instead of roasting and will never colour properly.

3

Season both sides with salt, black pepper and chopped garlic. Rest for 10 minutes.

4

Heat the oven to 200°C. Oil a tray with canola oil, lay the fillets skin-side down, leaving space between pieces.

5

Roast for 10–12 minutes until the centre reaches 52–55°C. Salmon keeps cooking a few degrees after it leaves the oven.

6

Meanwhile, fry the potato wedges according to the pack instructions.

7

Serve the salmon immediately with the lemon dill sauce and wedges alongside.

Tips from the Tavis Kitchen

  • Measure core temperature; do not guess from the clock. Fillet thickness varies, and overcooked salmon cannot be rescued.
  • For high-volume service: part-roast ahead, chill quickly, then finish for 4 minutes when the order lands.
  • Leftover lemon dill sauce keeps 2 days in the chiller. Never boil it — the cream will split.
