Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
-
Step 2.
In a large roasting tin, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 500ml gin and tonic, 1 tbsp ground coriander, juice of 1 lemon, 1 tbsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and 2 cubes frozen crushed garlic (or 6 crushed garlic cloves). Stir until well combined.
-
Step 3.
Lay 4 skin-on salmon fillets in the sauce, skin-side up. Cover the dish with foil and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly translucent in the center.
-
Step 4.
Remove the salmon from the tin and set aside. Place the tin over medium heat, bring the sauce to a boil, and cook until reduced by half, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 5.
Divide the salmon fillets among serving plates. Spoon the reduced sauce over the salmon. Scatter with 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander/cilantro and serve with steamed seasonal vegetables.
