1.02 kg salmon fillet

Instructions

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) and position rack in the centre.

Pat salmon dry with a paper towel and place, skin-side down, on a baking sheet. Rub with olive oil, drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Set aside.

Wash leeks and trim ends. Slice on the diagonal into ⅔ cm thick pieces.

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Peel and mince garlic.

Place salmon in the oven and roast until it's opaque, 10-15 minutes (depending on thickness).

Melt butter in skillet. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, 15-30 seconds. Add leeks and season with thyme, salt, and freshly ground pepper; stir to coat in the butter. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are tender, about 10 minutes.

Serve salmon with buttered leeks on the side. Drizzle with juice from remaining lemon and enjoy!
