Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Melt 10g butter in a frying pan over a medium-low heat. Add the almonds and seeds and fry for 5 mins, stirring. Stir in the Parmesan and half the lemon zest; cook for 3-4 mins until crispy. Transfer to a plate to cool; mix with the capers and half the dill. Season with pepper; set aside.
- Line a roasting tray with non-stick baking paper. Put the salmon on it, skin-side down. Mix the remaining 25g butter and lemon zest; season. Rub over the salmon; lay 6 bay leaves along the centre. Roast for 20 mins.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a low heat and fry the shallots and garlic for 3-4 mins. Increase the heat, add the stock and remaining bay leaf; simmer for 5 mins. Add the prosecco and simmer for 3-4 mins until reduced by half, then stir in the cream. Cook for 2-3 mins, then stir through the remaining dill; season.
- Transfer the salmon to a serving platter and sprinkle with the almond mix. Serve with the sauce.
