1

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6.

2

Using a paper towel, pat the salmon fillets dry to absorb any excess moisture. Coat the fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix the spices together and spread over the fillets, avoiding the skin side. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.

3

To make the blistered tomatoes, place the tomatoes, 3 tbsp olive oil and thyme in a roasting tray. Zest the lemon over and mix with everything. Place the tray in the oven for 15 minutes until softened and the skin has blistered.

4

To make the chermoula, finely chop the fresh coriander and parsley, mince the garlic and juice a lemon. Combine the herbs, garlic and lemon juice with the cumin coriander, 4 tbsp olive oil and chilli flakes. Season to taste.

5

In a large non-stick pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets, skin side down, in the pan and sear for 5-6 minutes until golden and the skin is crispy. Add the butter and 1 tablespoon of the chermoula. Season with salt and pepper. Baste the fillets for 1-2 minutes, then flip over and cook for a further 3-4 minutes without basting to keep the skin crisp.

6

Place the fillets on a serving platter. Top with the chermoula sauce. Serve with the blistered tomatoes.
