Salmon Fillets
Studding salmon fillets with little ‘cloutes’ of sun-dried tomato, basil, olive and garlic imparts some strong flavours and gives the fish a different character.
Prep time: 17 mins
Serves: 4
4 skinned salmon fillets, about 200g each
50g sun-dried tomatoes in oil, halved if large
Handful of basil leaves
50g pitted black olives
3 large garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
Sea salt and black pepper
Olive oil, to drizzle
Heat the oven to 200C/Gas 6. Place the salmon fillets on a board, skinned side down. use an apple corer to make 6 small holes in each fillet.
Flatten the sun-dried tomatoes and place on a basil leaf, an olive and a sliver of garlic on each one. Roll up and use to stuff the holes on the salmon. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on a lightly oiled baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 6-8 minutes until medium rare. The thickest part will feel slightly springy when pressed. Transfer to warm plates and serve with the tomato salad and country bread.

Could you translate from the metric please?
Hi Trudi, the metric converts too;
200g = 7 ounce or 0.5 lbs
50g = 1.7 ounce or 0.11 lbs
hope you enjoy the recipe as much as we did!
