Method

Ingredients

Moisten the fish with oil. Sear in a hot non-stick pan to seal and brown. Season and place on a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking paper. Before serving, bake at 180°C for 5 minutes.
To bake the potatoes: Moisten the potatoes with olive oil and season. Flatten into a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 220°C, one shelf above the middle until browned and crusty, about 30 minutes.
To serve: Serve salmon steaks with the salsa and hot crusty potatoes.

TASTE’s take:
This is a great method for preparing salmon. You can sear the fish ahead of time and finish it off in the oven when the potatoes are ready. The salsa, cooled with cucumber and gently spiked with chilli, can also be made ahead of time and chilled.
