How do I know when the salmon is perfectly cooked?

The key is not to overcook it! After 20-25 minutes at 180°C (160°C fan), the salmon should still be slightly pink in the thickest part - it'll continue cooking once you take it out of the oven. Use a fork to gently check the centre - it should flake easily but still look a touch translucent in the very middle. Overcooked salmon becomes dry, so err on the side of caution. If you've got a meat thermometer, you're aiming for about 50-52°C in the centre for that perfect medium doneness.

What is lemon myrtle and what does it taste like?

Lemon myrtle is a native Australian herb with an incredibly aromatic, lemony flavour - think lemon but more floral and intense. It's actually one of the most strongly lemon-scented plants in the world! In Gavin's velouté sauce, it creates this beautiful, sophisticated citrus note that's more complex than regular lemon. Combined with kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass, it gives the sauce an amazing aromatic quality that pairs perfectly with the rich salmon. It's a real taste of modern Australian cuisine.

Is the macadamia crust already on the salmon or do I need to apply it?

It's all done for you! The salmon comes with the herb and macadamia crust already applied, so you literally just take it out of the packaging and put it straight in the oven. No prep, no mess, no fuss. This is what makes it such a brilliant choice for Christmas - you get that impressive, restaurant-quality presentation without having to do any of the tricky work. Gavin's already sorted the perfect crust-to-salmon ratio and done all the seasoning.

A Show-Stopping Seafood Centrepiece

This is how you impress at Christmas. Gavin's prepared a stunning whole salmon side with an incredible herb and macadamia crust that bakes to golden perfection. Paired with a silky lemon myrtle velouté sauce that brings together native Australian flavours with classic French technique, this is restaurant-quality seafood made easy.

The salmon is already prepped and crusted, so you just pop it in the oven for 20-25 minutes and you've got a centrepiece that'll have everyone talking. The combination of fresh herbs, crunchy macadamias, and that aromatic lemon myrtle sauce makes this a truly special dish. Perfect for feeding a crowd without the stress.

Made with ❤️ by Gavin

Preparation Instructions

Step 1. Defrost in fridge first.
Step 2. Preheat oven to 180C (160C fan), line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 3. Remove salmon from packaging and place skin side down onto the baking tray.
Step 4. Cook for 20-25 minutes *the salmon will continue to cook once out of the oven so any longer than this and it will overcook, it should still be slightly pink in the thickest part*
Step 5. Place Lemon Myrtle Velouté Sauce into a microwave proof jug and reheat gently for 1 minute or until just warm.

About Your Cook

Hi, I'm Gavin!

Growing up, I was always cooking and creating in the kitchen with my mother, growing fresh produce in our garden, experimenting with dishes at home, and was brought up eating kale, spinach and humous before they were well-known foods!

I have cooked in some of the best fine dining restaurants in Australia, but at home, and as a father of three, my food is all about comfort food that is unpretentious, wholesome, nutritious, and that the whole family can share. I love cooking with the best seasonal and local fresh produce and being able to transform this into something healthy and super tasty for everyone to enjoy.
