Notes
You don't have to use a half side of salmon, you could wrap individual fillets in foil and roast them.
You could use this same marinade for chicken or even halloumi too. It is SO good and goes on almost anything.
If you prefer, you can swap the honey for maple syrup.
If you want crispy and charred edges on the salmon, then you could put it under the grill (broiler) for a couple of minutes to finish it off.
We don't recommend using dried herbs for this recipe, as the this salmon is all about the freshness.
Don't be tempted to open the foil packet to check on the salmon. It all needs to stay tightly wrapped up.
