Notes
- You don't have to use a half side of salmon, you could wrap individual fillets in foil and roast them.
- You could use this same marinade for chicken or even halloumi too. It is SO good and goes on almost anything.
- If you prefer, you can swap the honey for maple syrup.
- If you want crispy and charred edges on the salmon, then you could put it under the grill (broiler) for a couple of minutes to finish it off.
- We don't recommend using dried herbs for this recipe, as the this salmon is all about the freshness.
- Don't be tempted to open the foil packet to check on the salmon. It all needs to stay tightly wrapped up.
