METHOD
- Preheat oven to 120°C / 250°F. Pour olive oil into a small baking pan and lay the piece of salmon, skin-side down in the oil. Season with salt and black pepper.
- In a food processor, blend shallot, dill, parsley and lemon zest. Add olive oil and blend again. Spread herb paste over the entire piece of salmon.
