RECIPES FOR STUFFED SALMON RECIPES

Steps:

• This recipe works great as a stand-alone dish, but also as a component in Jamie’s Sunny Gathering from Together – see the full collection of menus here. GET AHEAD You can prep this on the day, if you prefer. Put the capers into a small bowl, then tear in the anchovies and strip in the rosemary leaves. Squash and destone the olives, tearing the flesh into the bowl, then finely slice and add the chilli. Finely grate over the lemon zest, squeeze in the juice, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight. ON THE DAY Place the salmon skin side down in the middle of your largest roasting tray and use the tip of a small sharp knife to make deep cuts into the flesh at 3cm intervals. Now stuff each cut, using the knife to help you. I start by dividing up the olives and anchovies, then add the rosemary, chilli and capers. Take your time and enjoy the process. Sprinkle any excess around the salmon. TO SERVE Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Roast the salmon at the bottom of the oven for 20 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Dredge the salmon in flour, using more as needed to ensure even coverage.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine crumbed bread, butter, onions, and the parsley and mix evenly.
• Stuff the cavity of the salmon with bread mixture, then close with toothpicks.
• In a baking dish large enough for the salmon to rest flat, lay half the bacon evenly on the bottom.
• Place the salmon on top of the bacon, and then place remaining bacon evenly over the salmon.
• Squeeze lemon juice evenly over the salmon.
• Bake 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour, depending on size of salmon (5 lb about 1 hour and fifteen minutes).
• Remove from oven and take out toothpicks.
• Cut salmon crosswise into about 2 inch pieces.
