Jamie Oliver: Jamie’s Byte-Sized Recipes – baked salmon fillets with herbs


00:00:07well Gauri is a whole wild salmon and

00:00:10I’ve had my guy Jay take the Phillips

00:00:14off the bone and removes all the pin

00:00:16bones so what I want to do is first of

00:00:18all get some string you want about five

00:00:20little limps like this you see why I

00:00:25need this in a minute let’s get this

00:00:28board seasoned a little bit of salt like

00:00:31this it’s just over the board and I know

00:00:33it looks a bit weird at the moment but

00:00:34it’s going to stick to that fish skin a

00:00:36little bit of pepper a little bit of

00:00:38olive oil just along there like that and

00:00:42I’ve got this lovely salmon Phillip

00:00:44right and the scales have come off for

00:00:46that salmon where this flesh is exposed

00:00:49get a bit of salt on there a bit more

00:00:51pepper little bit of lemon zest

00:00:54absolutely gorgeous there you go hello

00:01:00so salmon Phillip salt and pepper bitter

00:01:03lemon zest and then I’ve got some nice

00:01:06herbs I’ve got some marjoram I’ve just

00:01:08ripped up it’s gonna be gorgeous right

00:01:10I’ve got some nice olives I’ve taken the

00:01:12old pips out and I’m just gonna put them

00:01:14in the middle bit of lemon zest all

00:01:18right here we go yeah now the reason

00:01:23I’ve tired out about this is two reasons

00:01:25right well you would think I’d tidy up

00:01:28for power form I’ve got a problem with

00:01:29tying things up hold the flavouring and

00:01:32also you’re making the salmon the same

00:01:34thickness so when it cooks it cooks

00:01:36evenly and you won’t have a little rub

00:01:37it in a little sort of like overcooked

00:01:39bit so we cut all these off and get all

00:01:42these herbs getting over the top right

00:01:45now these lemons that we’ve grated

00:01:49floormat just lay them on the top now

00:01:53when they cook

00:01:54they’ll go crisp the sugar in the lemons

00:01:56will sweeten it will go nice and jammy

00:01:57really really tasty and and they’ll be

00:02:01really edible but more point they’ll

00:02:04write sort of bleed really nice lemon

00:02:06juice which will make a lovely little

00:02:08sauce with the olive oil in the bottom

00:02:09of the tray

00:02:10and I’m gonna make I’m gonna make sure

00:02:15that you get this working a little bit

00:02:18of parsley olive oil just rip it over

00:02:24wash it wash it in the oven
