Cooking Instructions
1.
Peel and mince the garlic.
2.
Wash and rinse the arugula leaves.
3.
Slice the
Lemon (1)
into wedges.
4.
Preheat oven to 410 degrees F (210 degrees C).
5.
Finely slice the chives.
6.
Drizzle
Salmon Fillets (2)
with
Extra Virgin Spanish Olive Oil (1 Tbsp)
and
Lemon Juice (1 tsp)
. Rub all over the fillets, then season with
Sea Salt (to taste)
and
Ground Black Pepper (to taste)
. Add the salmon fillets to a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
7.
Bake salmon for 13-15 minutes.
8.
To make the saffron dijon sauce, add
Saffron Threads (1/2 tsp)
into a mortar. Using a pestle, pound down on the saffron until you form a powder.

Heat a small nonstick frying pan over a medium heat and add

Add the mixture into the mortar with the saffron and let it infuse for 3 minutes or until it cools off.
