Prep time

Ingredients
- Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
- Lemon: 1 lemon, cut into wedges, to serve
- Paprika: 1 tsp paprika
- Honey: 1 tsp honey
- Salmon: 1 1/2 kg side of salmon, skin on
- Black Peppercorn: 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black peppercorns
- Wholegrain Mustard: 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- Ground Ginger: 1/2 tsp ground ginger
Directions
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a big roasting tin with baking parchment or foil - this helps to prevent the fish from sticking to the tin as it cooks. Brush the salmon skin with oil and place it, skin-side down, on the paper.
- Mix the ground ginger with the paprika, pepper, mustard, honey and 1 tbsp olive oil. Spread it evenly over the fleshy side of the fish.
- Roast, uncovered, for about 20 mins until the salmon is cooked through - check by poking a knife into the fillet and making sure the fish flakes easily.
- Serve directly from the tin, or use a couple of fish slices to carefully lift the salmon onto a big plate. Slice into portions and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
