Ingredients

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium salmon fillets, about 2 1/2 pounds (1.1 kilograms) skin on, scaled and pinboned
2 lemons
Bunch fresh marjoram
Bunch fresh dill
Bunch fresh basil
Handful stoned black olives
Bunch flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C/gas 6).

Cut 5 lengths of string and lay them out on the work surface next to each another, leaving gaps in between. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the work surface, and drizzle with olive oil. Lay 1 salmon fillet, skin side down, on top. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the salmon, then, using a fine grater, grate the zest of 1 lemon over the top. On top of that lay the marjoram, dill, and basil, broken up, and the olives.

Season the flesh side of the other salmon fillet with salt and pepper, and grate over the second lemon. Place 1 fillet on top of the other, thin end to thick, then tie them together and trim the string. Put the fish parcel on an oiled baking tray, and scatter over any remaining bits of herb. Thinly slice the 2 lemons and place on top of and round the salmon. Drizzle with olive oil, then roughly chop the parsley and sprinkle over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.

Good for you.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

It's really hard to mess up salmon, unless you overcook or burn it, because it's a naturally flavorful fish with a... distinctive taste. Salmon, with all the herbs and a wee bit of olive oil is so healthy. This recipe is so easy and quick to make, and it makes everyone "ooh and aah" when you bring it to the table whole. Also, I agree with the other review, I always cook Jamie's recipes a little longer than he states (maybe it's my oven?).Read more

GREAT salmon recipe !
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This dish is great to make, even if you're a bit timid about preparing seafood ! Just use the 20 min. baking guide as a... reference only..each time I've made it, it's had to cook at least 30 mins. to ensure it's done. The herbs and lemon really make the dish -- gets raves every time !Read more
