Mediterranean Salmon - YUM!!!!

This is a Gordon Ramsay one, only I substituted olives for anchovies because... well... they rock! It's suddenly rocketed to one of Leon's all time favourite dishes, and I must admit that I'd happily eat it on a daily basis too. And this is coming from someone who used to think salmon was boring

Serves 2

Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, with or without skin
1 clove of garlic, sliced finely
Fresh basil leaves
12 sun dried tomatoes
1 small tin of anchovies in olive oil

Recipe

1. Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6 (200ish degrees?)

2. Take an apple corer and make 6 holes in each of the salmon fillets. Make sure you don't actually remove any flesh, just twirl the corer around so there's a hole. If your fish still has skin on, make the holes from the skin side.

3. Take a sun dried tomato (cut in half if it's a biggie), lay a basil leaf on it, followed by half an anchovy fillet and a slice of garlic. Roll up into a tube, and push into one of the holes in the salmon fillets. Repeat until you've filled all the holes (arf arf)

4. Place in on a baking tray and drizzle with the oil from the tinned anchovies.

5. Bake in the oven uncovered for about 10 minutes.

6. Serve with whatever you like. I made a tomato salad with mine and did a few new potatoes, which had the oil from the fish pan poured all over them.. waste not want not

It is SERIOUSLY nice! The sundried toms look like they're burnt, but they're not. It's just a poo camera phone

RUBBISH!!! Do it with chicken and sub the anchovies for an olive or something

You CANNOT go wrong with bacon

You could always sub the anchovies for a slither of bacon or parma ham or something

Ooohh, or a teeny bit of chorizo.

Loving anything with basil in it right now (e.g. Fawlty Towers). Managed to keep one of the supermarket plants alive for some weeks now. Add this one to the list!
