Here’s a bold and versatile recipe that highlights a perfect balance of sweet, savoury, and smoky flavours.
Paprika-Glazed Salmon
(Serves 4)
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin-on or off)
- 2 taps F N Good Food BBQ seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra glaze)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
- Fresh dill or parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. Season the Salmon:
- Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush lightly with olive oil.
- Generously coat both sides of the salmon with the F N Good Food BBQ seasoning, pressing gently to adhere.
2. Cook the Salmon:
- Pan-Seared Method:
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil.
- Place salmon spice-side down and cook for 4–5 minutes until a caramelized crust forms. Flip and cook 3–4 minutes more until flaky.
- Optional: Drizzle honey over the salmon in the last 1–2 minutes for a glossy glaze.
- Oven-Baked Method:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes.
3. Serve:
- Squeeze lemon wedges over the salmon. Garnish with fresh herbs.
Serving Suggestions:
- With Grains: Serve over cilantro-lime rice, quinoa, or farro.
- Vegetable Pairings: Pair with roasted Brussels sprouts, asparagus, or a crisp cucumber salad.
- Dipping Sauce: Mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice and a pinch of F N Good Food BBQ seasoning.
Vegetarian version
Replace salmon with thick slices of halloumi cheese or portobello mushrooms. Adjust cook time (halloumi: 2–3 minutes per side; mushrooms: roast for 15–20 minutes).
Tips
- For extra crispy skin: Season the skin side with salt first, press F N Good Food BBQ seasoning onto the flesh side only.
- Heat Lovers: Add ½ tsp cayenne pepper to the spice mix.
