Salmon with Orange Mustard Glaze

METHOD:

For the brine:

1. Dissolve the sea salt and sugar in cold water. Cover salmon with the brine and leave at room temperature for 1 hour. Remove and pat dry

For the orange mustard glaze:

1. Place ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to the boil on high heat, induction setting 8. Turn down the heat to induction setting 5 and reduce by half. Allow to cool completely

For the salmon:

1. Preheat oven on Fan Grill at 240°C

2. Place a grilling and roasting insert into a multi-purpose tray. Place a square of foil on the insert and brush lightly with grapeseed oil

3. Place the salmon on the foil and lightly brush with the orange mustard glaze. Place into the oven on shelf position 4 and cook for 6 minutes

4. Lightly glaze again, place on shelf position 5 and cook for a further 6 minutes

To serve:

1. Place the fennel in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and dry. Toss the fennel in lemon juice, olive oil and sea salt. Mix with watercress and grapefruit

2. Place the salmon on a warm serving platter, scatter with fennel and watercress salad and sprinkle over chives

Hints and tips:

• Ginger can be replaced with either horseradish or wasabi for alternative flavours.
• Extend or decrease the cooking time of the salmon, depending on degree of doneness. Being careful, as an extended cooking time may lead to the glaze burning.
