13 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 red peppers
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling and greasing
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 salmon fillets, skin on, about 7oz each
  • For the dressing
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon superfine sugar
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • To serve
  • 9 ounces salad greens
  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. 2
    Place the peppers onto a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Transfer to the oven and roast for 20 minutes, or until scorched in places. Place the peppers into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
  3. 3
    Place a good solid baking sheet into the oven to heat up for about three minutes.
  4. 4
    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Brush this spiced oil all over the salmon.
  5. 5
    Lightly oil the hot baking sheet and place the salmon onto it, skin-side down. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked but still a little pink inside.
  6. 6
    When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and cut the flesh into strips, discarding the core and seeds.
  7. 7
    For the dressing, whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a bowl until slightly thickened. Place the salad leaves into a bowl, drizzle over the dressing and stir to coat the leaves.
  8. 8
    To serve, place the sald onto serving plates and top with the salmon, skin-side up.
  9. 9
    Arrange the pepper strips and capers on top of the salmon.
