Preparation
Allow the salmon to thaw in the refrigerator overnight and pat dry with kitchen paper before cooking.
- Wash the oranges with hot water, rub dry and remove the peel from one orange with a zester. Then cut both oranges into slices and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place the salmon on top.
- For the marinade, mix the orange peel, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of orange jam, ½ teaspoon of mustard, 2 teaspoons of sugar beet syrup, 1 teaspoon of hoisin sauce, a pinch of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of paprika in a bowl. Peel the garlic and press 2 cloves into the marinade, stir well and then spread the marinade over the salmon with a brush.
- Let the salmon marinate for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, brush the potatoes under running water and use a sharp, small knife to make fan-shaped cuts up to 5 mm to the potato base. Chop the remaining garlic together with the rosemary and place between the potato wedges. Brush the potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and place on the baking tray along with the salmon.
- At the end of the marinating time, preheat the oven to 140 °C circulating air.
- Cook the marinated salmon in the middle of the oven for about 25-30 minutes (depending on the thickness of the salmon) and remove from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 180 °C and cook the potatoes for a further 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Meanwhile, deseed the pomegranate. Wash the parsley, shake dry, tear into small pieces and sprinkle over the marinated salmon together with the pomegranate.
- Distribute the salmon and potatoes on plates. A fresh leaf salad goes well with this as a side dish.
Salmon is a healthy source of protein and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, making it a more conscious choice at a time when many people are trying to eat healthier during the holidays.
