Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 red peppers
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling and greasing
1 teaspoon paprika
salt & freshly ground black pepper
6 salmon fillets, skin on, about 7oz each
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon superfine sugar
salt & freshly ground black pepper
9 ounces salad greens
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Place the peppers onto a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Transfer to the oven and roast for 20 minutes, or until scorched in places. Place the peppers into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
  • Place a good solid baking sheet into the oven to heat up for about three minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Brush this spiced oil all over the salmon.
  • Lightly oil the hot baking sheet and place the salmon onto it, skin-side down. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked but still a little pink inside.
  • When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and cut the flesh into strips, discarding the core and seeds.
  • For the dressing, whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl until slightly thickened. Place the salad leaves into a bowl, drizzle over the dressing and stir to coat the leaves.
  • To serve, place the sald onto serving plates and top with the salmon, skin-side up.
  • Arrange the pepper strips and capers on top of the salmon.
