This recipe for baked salmon is made a little more interesting with the addition of sweet pumpkin and salty prosciutto.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a roasting pan with baking paper.
- Mix the pumpkin, oil, garlic and rosemary together and season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Place in the roasting pan and roast for 35-40 minutes until golden and tender.
- Meanwhile, for the pesto, place the parsley, almonds and garlic in a food processor and blend until well combined.
- With the motor running, gradually add the oil in a slow, steady stream, until smooth, then season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Set aside.
- Preheat a grill to medium.
- Season salmon lightly with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Wrap each salmon fillet with a slice of prosciutto. Brush lightly with oil and grill for 3-4 minutes each side until cooked on the outside but still a little pink in the centre. Rest, loosely covered with foil, for 2 minutes.
- Divide the salmon and pumpkin among 4 serving plates and top with the parsley pesto.
