Ingredients
  • 8 pieces wild salmon
  • 1 large red onion (diced small pieces)
  • 1 cup cherry tomato
  • 1/2 cup parsley (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup soya sauce
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1/2 lemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    We start by combining the spices with the chopped onions, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and fresh parsley. Mix everything well so the flavours come together.

  2. 2

    Then we take the salmon pieces and rub them thoroughly with this mixture, making sure every piece is well coated so the fish absorbs all the flavours.

  3. 3

    Cover the dish and place it in the oven. Let it bake for about 45 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and tender.

  4. 4

    Once it’s done, uncover it and place it under the grill for about 5 minutes to give it a beautiful golden finish.

  5. 5

    Serve it with rice, a fresh salad, or both, and enjoy a simple, rich, and satisfying meal.

Chef's Notes

Along the eastern Mediterranean coast, fish was never meant to be complicated. When a fresh catch came in, the rule was simple: cook it the same day, and don’t interfere with its nature. Olive oil, a bit of salt, maybe garlic, and something from the land to accompany it. That “something” was often tomatoes once they became part of the regional kitchen generations ago.
