How to De-bone Salmon Fillet

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rub 2 Tbsp of the oil all over the tomatoes. Place them in a roasting dish side by side and place in the oven for 10 minutes or until roasted, browned and just collapsing. Remove from the oven, cool, mash with a fork and add the sundried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, chilli, balsamic and basil.

Mix well, taste and season then reserve.

Boil the potatoes in plenty of well salted water until tender. Drain, crush slightly with a fork and add the rocket, parsley, mint and garlic. Stir in the yoghurt, taste, season, cover and reserve.

Brush the salmon with the remaining oil, season and place on a roasting tray. Place in the oven for 10 minutes or until just cooked then remove from the oven.

Break the salmon into pieces and serve with the tomato mixture and the potatoes on the side. Sprinkle with extra basil leaves before serving.

TIP: To help cut through the richness of the Salmon add yoghurt to the potatoes.
