Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Pat the salmon dry with kitchen paper or a clean tea towel, then rub all over with 1 tsp of the olive oil and season well. Set aside.

  • step 2

    Layer the sliced clementines and fennel in a large roasting tin, then scatter over the cranberries. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, then lay the salmon on the top and roast for 30-35 mins until cooked through.

  • step 3

    Meanwhile, mix the remaining olive oil with the clementine juice and zest along with a small handful of parsley in a small bowl.

  • step 4

    Carefully lift the cooked salmon onto a tray and set aside. Transfer the cooked fennel, clementine and cranberries to a platter and lay the salmon on top. Drizzle over any juices from the tin, then pour over the dressing and scatter over the remaining parsley.

question

Salmon skin on or off?

question

What would you serve with this? A plain couscous? And what would you recommend for a vegetable side dish? Thanks.

I think I would prefer plain small potatoes to Cous cous because the salmon is quite rich. And I’d do mixed Green veg (broccoli florets, mange tout peas, green beans, asparagus tips) or a green salad.

question

Can I use dried cranberries if they are not available? If so, I guess I would have tosoak them first?

Hi, yes dried cranberries are fine. As you suggest, soak them first in boiling water and the drain. Also bear in mind they are usually sweetened so will give a different flavour to the dish - perhaps use slightly fewer than fresh. Frozen cranberries can also be used. We hope this helps. Best wishes,…

question

What do you do with the pink peppercorns?

Hi, thanks for your question and for spotting this. They've crept into the recipe by mistake and don't actually get used in this dish, so you can just ignore them. We'll update the recipe. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
