Equipment
- 1 ceramic dish - To cook the salmon
- 1 Small Ceramic Dish - To cook the skin
Ingredients
- 2 100g fillets Skin on Salmon Fillets - obviously
- 2 medium White Onions - or red if you prefer
- 4 tbsp Cooking Oil
- 2 tbsp Chilli Infused Oil - we make our own, it's easy
Instructions
Prepare the Salmon & Onions
- Peel and roughly chop the onions
- Put the chopped onions in a ceramic dish with a little cooking oil
- Place the salmon fillets skin side down in the dish and cook in the oven 180 degrees for 10 minutes.
The Salmon Skin
- Turn the salmon fillets over and peel off the skin. It will be slightly cooked and soft and will have been flavoured by the onions. The Salmon will not be fully cooked so you will need to return this to the oven as needed.
Prepare the Salmon Skin
- Flavour the skin with a little chilli oil and salt
Cook the Salmon Skin
- Put the small ceramic dish in the oven
- Take it out every five minutes or so and give the pieces a mix around
- When they look nice and crispy, put them on some kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil and then put then in a serving dish.
- Add salt to taste.
Notes
The calories are hard to calculate because the skin itself is never listed. I'm going to look into this further, so for now, let's take the calories as an estimate.
