Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (approximately 520g/1lb 3oz)
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- ½ tsp dried mixed herbs
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- ½ red pepper, seeds removed, sliced
- ½ carrot, julienned (cut into thin strips)
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 4 tbsp mango chutney
- squeeze lemon juice
- ½ Scotch bonnet chilli, seeds removed, sliced
Method
Rub the salmon with the salt, black pepper, herbs and cayenne. Set aside in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour.
Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the salmon and cook on both sides until cooked through and browned. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the onion, garlic, red pepper, carrot and thyme and cook until the vegetables are caramelised. Remove the vegetables and add the mango chutney, 100ml/3½fl oz water and lemon juice to the pan. Cook until a thick sauce is formed. Add the vegetables back to the pan along with the salmon and simmer for 5 minutes, basting the salmon in the sauce. Serve immediately.
