Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets
• several sprigs of tenderstem brocolli, some french beans, or other green
• good cherry tomatoes
• wholegrain mustard
• honey
• thyme
• white wine (optional)

Method

Turn the oven on, quite hot (200 degrees or more).

Cut the salmon into good sized chunks, and the veg however you like – chuck all this in an oven dish with a lid.

Mix a good tablespoon or so of honey with a couple of good teaspoons of mustard, a teaspoon of thyme and some salt and pepper with either 200ml of white wine (or water) and a tablespoon of cornflour (or normal plain flour). Combine very well, pour over the fish and vegetables and stir.

Cover and put in the oven.

After about 25 minutes crack the lid and stir again. Cook for a further 15 minutes.

Serve with rice. Yum!

We were left too stuffed for desserts, but the coffee was spot on.

The ambience of the place is fantastic and the friendly owners and staff have found the perfect balance of being on-hand and helpful while also letting you enjoy your meal and companions.

We found the food to be excellent, and I must admit that I will find it hard to order something other than the duck if (or more likely when) we go back!

The Raw Kitchen is a real hidden gem!
