Ingredients
1 Large Fresh Salmon Fillet (I used 1kg Fillet)
½ Cup Chopped Cilantro
1 ½ Cup Chopped Parsley
¼ Cup Chopped Fresh Oregano
½ cup Chopped Basil
2 Garlic Cloves - Finely Diced
Lemon Zest from ½ Lemon
½ Lemon - Juiced (use same half)
Lemon Slices from ½ Lemon (the 2nd half of the lemon)
¾ Cup Chopped Walnuts
1 Cup Whipping Cream
¾ Tbsp coarse Salt (Kosher Salt)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F (200C)
Prepare a deep baking dish (could be Pyrex or any other pan that will fit the fish size)
In a medium bowl combine the chopped cilantro, parsley, oregano, basil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice and walnuts. Mix well just like you would with a salad.
Place the Salmon fillet in the baking dish and completely cover it with the herb mix.
Carefully pour the whipping cream on top, pouring from one end of the fish to the other, covering the entire fish.
Sprinkle the kosher salt on top of the herbs. Sprinkle evenly on top of the whole fish.
Place the lemon slices on top for decoration.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes (depending on the fish size and thickness).
