Salmon fillets cooked over aromatic salt

Filetti di salmone al sale aromatico

I think that this is one of the best way to cook the salmon fillets. Do you agree?

Preparation time:  5 minutes
Cooking time:  about 20-30 minutes

Serves  2

Ingredients:

1 lb (450g) coarse sea salt
2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
fresh lemon juice, about 5 tbsp.
water, about 2 tbsp.
2 Salmon fillets (about ½ lb or 220g each) with the skin on one side
black pepper to taste
extra virgin olive oil, about 5 tbsp.

Method:

1.        In a bowl combine the salt with rosemary, 2 tbsp. of lemon juice and water.
2.        Then put a layer of this mixture on the bottom of a pan, place the fish fillets with the skin side over it, season with black pepper and spoon 1-2 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil on top.
3.        Cover and cook for about 20-30 minutes or until the fish fillets are just cooked through (the exact cooking time depends on the thickness of the fish fillets).
4.        Transfer to a plate, drizzle the fillets with the remaining extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately.
