Ingredients
  • 795g / 1.76 lbs salmon fillet with skin
  • 375ml / 1 1/2 cups water
  • 250ml / 1/2 cup white vinegar (12%)
  • 125g / 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 30ml / 2 tablespoons rapeseed oil
  • 30g / 1 cucumber
  • 10g / 2 teaspoons citron pepper
  • 6g / 1 teaspoon salt
  • 5g / 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F or 200°C, making sure it's nice and hot for our salmon.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, whichever you prefer. This will make cleanup a breeze.

3. Place the salmon fillet on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if it has skin. Don't worry if it doesn't, it'll still be delicious.

4. Sprinkle citron pepper and salt evenly over the salmon, making sure it's fully coated with that lovely flavor.

5. Drizzle rapeseed oil over the salmon, adding a richness to the dish. You can also use olive oil if you prefer.

6. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it's cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

7. While the salmon is baking, prepare the dill sauce by combining 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of water in a bowl. Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved.

8. Add 1/4 cup of chopped fresh dill to the bowl and mix well, making sure it's fully incorporated into the sauce.

9. Slice a cucumber thinly and add it to the bowl, stirring gently to combine.

10. Serve the baked salmon with the dill sauce spooned over the top, making sure each bite is coated in that lovely flavor.

11. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired, adding a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
