The preserved lemon brings a deep citrus flavor that injects an irresistible complexity to your dish without trying so hard.
Serves approximately 6 people
2lbs Salmon, skin removed
5tbsp + 2 tbsp Preserved Lemon Paste*
Place the salmon on a baking sheet covered with foil. Either using a brush, back of a spoon, or schmear with your hands the 5 tablespoons of the preserved lemon paste on both sides of the fish. Set your oven to broil and let the salmon cook for 10-15 minutes. If the salmon has enough color on the top after 10-15 minutes, set the oven to 375f and bake until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
When the fish is ready I like to brush the reserved 2 tablespoons of preserved lemon paste on top. If you are making it for the first time I would suggest you try it once it’s out of the oven and add more according to your taste.
To change things up, I might add a sweetener with the preserved lemon paste. Maple and honey are great options.
Notes:
Feel free to substitute your preferred fish for salmon.
If you would rather not use the broiler function on your oven, just preheat your oven to 400f/450f, place the baking sheet and roast until salmon is cooked through.
Salmon is naturally oily, so there's no need to add any extra oil to the recipe. If using any other fish I would drizzle olive oil.
When the weather is nice, I prefer to grill the fish—make sure to buy skin-on salmon!
—Our Preserved Lemon Paste is an all-natural product and is therefore subject to slight variations due to the amount of natural pectin in each batch. We recommend that customers who receive Preserved Lemon Paste with a more gel-like texture either blitz how much they need in a blender or use a knife to gently run through the product on a cutting board until it reaches the desired texture.
