Method:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Remove the side of salmon from the fridge and lay (skin side down) on a lined baking tray. Season with sea salt flakes.
- For the marinade: Mix the extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest & juice, garlic, butter and parsley. Season well and mix. Pour the marinade over the side of the salmon, so it covers all areas. Place the half lemon slices on top of the marinade. Place in the oven and bake for approx. 20-25 mins (depending on thickness and desire).
