I saw this in the Sunday paper and it had all the elements that appeal to me - four ingredients, very little effort and serves two. Bliss.

Ingredients

500g of salmon
50 g of fresh ginger
1 large fresh uncooked beetroot.
8 tablespoons of groundnut oil (I used olive because I didn't have the other)

Method

Peel and chunk the ginger and beetroot (admittedly this could be very tough on arthritic hands, sorry :oops: ) then place into the bowl of a food processor.

Run the machine to finely chop the veg whilst adding the oil through the feed tube. Process until you have a paste.

Put the paste into a food bag and add the sliced salmon. Seal the bag and put in the fridge for at least four hours before you wish to eat so the fish marinates.

When eating time approaches heat your oven to 180 c / gas mark 4. Put the fish into a roasting pan with some of the marinade (I used all of it because mine was quite thick) season with salt and pepper and cover loosely with foil. Bake for 12 minutes then remove the foil and bake for a further 8. Leave to stand for five and then serve. (Now, this is where I disagree with Sir Nigel of Slater. I did as he suggested and found that after the first 12 minutes my fish was barely warm, so I whacked up the temp to 200 and all turned out well - and I didn't let it stand either. )

I served it with plain boiled potatoes and steamed broccoli. It was delicious, a gentle mix of rich, gently warming and earthy. DD

    Thanks for this is sounds great. Strangely enough I got salmon out for tonights dinner and was going to oven bake and serve with small potatoes but this sound much more tasty, I will certainly try this way tonight.
