Steps
Winter Citrus Salmon Wreath
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- On a chopping board, place the salmon loins and slice in half. Working 2 pieces at a time, twist the lengths of salmon together to form a braid and then place on an oiled baking sheet in a half moon shape.
- Repeat with the remaining 2 lengths of salmon and place on the tray in a half moon in the opposite direction so that you form a circular shape.
- In a bowl, mix all in the ingredients for the brown sugar glaze, then brush over the salmon.
- Place into the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
- When the salmon is cooked, brush over the salmon and transfer to a serving board.
- Plate the salmon and serve with the salsa. Add basil leaves to garnish on top of the salmon for a show-stopping centerpiece!
Herb butter
- In a frying pan set over a medium heat, melt the butter.
- Allow the butter to foam and brown and then squeeze in the lemon juice.
- Next, add the herbs and stir to combine. Remove from the heat.
Salsa
- In a small bowl, mix together all of the ingredients together.
