Mediterranean Baked Salmon

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 medium salmon fillets

  skin on (150-170 g / 5-7 oz. each)
• 1.5-2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary

  fresh or dry
• 3 cloves of garlic

  finely diced or minced
• 1-2 teaspoons finely diced red chilli

  less or more for taste
• A little olive oil or a little butter/ghee
• To serve: lemon wedges

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
• 2 Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat baking tray or prepare a lightly
  greased oven tray.
• 3 Brush the fleshy side of the salmon fillets with tomato paste, just a thin
  layer. Sprinkle evenly with salt, rosemary, garlic and a little chilli. Drizzle
  each fillet with a little bit of olive oil or place a piece of butter or ghee on
  top. I personally love a little butter for extra richness.
• 4 Place salmon fillets skin side down on the tray. Bake for 15 minutes or until
  cooked to your liking. Larger or thicker pieces might take closer to 20 minutes.
• 5 While salmon is baking, prepare a salad or another side dish you like.
