Ingredients

½ pound Salmon
1 tablespoon Olive oil
¼ teaspoon Celtic sea salt
1 Medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
1 Shallot, minced
1 Serrano chile, remove seeds, minced
2 tablespoons Mint leaves, minced
¼ cup Lime juice, fresh squeezed

Preparation

Turn oven on to 500°

Cut fish into 2 pieces, leaving skin on; rinse and pat dry with paper towel

Place fish skin side down on a metal baking sheet

Rub fillets liberally with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt

Reduce oven temperature to 275°, then put sheet with salmon on lowest rack

Roast 8 to 13 minutes –so that centers of thickest part of fillets are still translucent when cut into with a pairing knife

To make relish, stir together remaining ingredients from above in a medium size bowl

Remove salmon from oven, transfer to plates and serve with relish

Cook's Notes

I like cooking salmon this way as it takes away the fishy flavor; adding relish completes the process of de-fishing the fish! This dish is great all year round, though particularly lovely for a spring dinner served with asparagus. ~ Elana Amsterdam~
