1 C fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

¼ C fresh chives, chopped

¼ C fresh basil (or other soft herb), chopped

1/3 C fresh dill sprigs, chopped

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 long red chilli, finely chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 T wholegrain mustard

¼ C lemon juice

1/3 C olive oil

1 x 1.3kg pinboned salmon fillet, skin on

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Combine parsley, chives, dill, onion, chilli, garlic, mustard, lemon juice and half the oil in a bowl.

Top with two-thirds of the parsley mixture. Top with remaining salmon, skin-side up. Tie with kitchen string at 3cm intervals. Rub with remaining oil and sprinkle with salt. Place in a baking dish.
