For 5-6 diners:
Salmon:
1 kg salmon fillet
150g pesto genovese
1 dl cream
two oranges
barbecue seasoning
salt
some butter
Mashed potatoes with dill:
Potatoes
Milk
Water
Butter
1 punt of dill
salt
Preparation:
- Heat oven to ~200C
- Butter up a casserole
- Wash the salmon fillet, then place it skin up on the casserole.
- Cook the fillet in the oven for about 10 minutes. Take it out, and use a fork to remove the skin
- Cut an orange in half and squeeze the juice on the fillet. Use the whole orange.
- Season the fish with the barbecue seasoning. There can be quite a lot of it, a steady spread on the whole fish. Add a sprinkling of fine sea salt, or maybe salt chips.
- Use a spoon to cover the fish with the pesto genovese. I used about 3/4 of a 190g jar. Spread the pesto as a steady layer.
- Take another orange, cut it in half, too, and sprinkle the other halve’s juice on the pesto.
- Add cream, very gently so it stays on the fish with the pesto and doesn’t just run out of the sides or wash the pesto away.
- Put back into oven for 20 minutes.
Mashed potatoes with dill:
- Make as normal mashed potatoes with butter and salt to taste, then use a pair of scissors to cut a punt of dill in with the mashed potatoes.
Eat, enjoy. I suggest wine. ;) And remember to eat in a good company with some good music. :)
