  1. Preheat your oven to 180 celsius
  2. Take a piece of foil large enough to wrap around your side of salmon and place it on a flat baking tray.  Spread a little olive oil over the foil (where the side of salmon will sit, to stop the salmon from sticking) and place the side of salmon on top

  4. Place slices of lime down the centre of the side of salmon.
  5. Drizzle the butter mixture over the salmon
  6. Sprinkle lightly with Pepperberry Salt Mix
  7. Enclose the salmon in the foil and place into the oven
  8. Bake for approx 15-20 mins or until salmon is tender and pulls apart with a fork
  9. Open foil and cook for a further 5 mins
  10. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and a little more Pepperberry Salt Mix (if needed)
  11. Serve with a light salad or wild rice
