Ingredients
Skinless salmon
1000 g, 1 x 1kg side of salmon
Honey
1 tbs
Orange rind
1 tbs, from 1 orange
Fresh lemon rind
2 tsp, from 1 lemon
Ciabatta bread
80 g, roughly torn
Green shallot(s)
2 individual, chopped
Garlic
1 clove(s), chopped
Fresh flat-leaf parsley

Fresh dill

Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a large shallow-sided baking tray with baking paper. Place salmon on prepared tray.
2
Finely grate rind from lemon and half the orange, then cut lemon and orange into wedges. Place lemon and orange rind in a small bowl. Stir in honey and 1 teaspoon warm water. Rub mixture over the top of salmon.
3
Pulse ciabatta, shallots, garlic, parsley and dill in a food processor to form coarse crumbs. Transfer mixture to a bowl, stir in capers and season with salt and pepper. Gently press the mixture evenly over top of salmon to form a crust. Lightly spray with oil. Arrange lemon and orange wedges around salmon.
4
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crust is crisp and salmon is cooked to your liking. Carefully transfer salmon to a large serving platter. Scatter over extra dill and serve with the roasted lemon and orange wedges for squeezing over.
