Method

  • Preheat the oven to 90°C.
  • Scrape off the scales from the salmon, cut into portion pieces, and make thin slits in the skin.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan and place the salmon skin-side down. Gently press the fish with a spatula so it doesn’t buckle.

Oven-roasted tomatoes

  • Cut each tomato in half and place on a baking sheet cut-side up.
  • Sprinkle with a little salt and sugar, and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes.

Sauce

  • Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

asparagus

  • Increase the oven temperature to 200°C.
  • Peel the asparagus and place in an ovenproof dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Lay sliced ham over the asparagus and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the ham is crispy and the asparagus is tender. Crumble the ham over the asparagus when serving.
  • Serve the salmon with oven-roasted tomatoes, butter sauce, and ham-wrapped asparagus.
