Roasted Salmon With Leeks - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 large leeks, white part only, thoroughly washed and cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon finely shredded lemon zest
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
4 salmon steaks, about 1/2 pound each
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
lemon wedge (for garnish)
fresh dill (for garnish)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F In an ovenproof casserole dish large enough to hold all 4 steaks, combine leeks, water, olive oil, and lemon zest. Cover with aluminum foil and bake 20 minutes, stirring once half way through. Remove from oven, push leeks aside, and add steaks to the dish.
Spoon leeks evenly over the fish, season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Return to oven and bake, uncovered, until salmon is opaque, about 10 to12 minutes. To serve, divide the leeks onto four plates and top with the salmon steak.
