This slow-cooked salmon promises to be a highlight at your next dinner party and proves seafood can also take its time.

½ bunch lemon thyme, leaves picked, chopped, plus extra to serve
1 tbs fennel seeds, toasted
1 tsp chilli flakes, optional
100g unsalted butter, chopped
1 cup coarse day-old breadcrumbs
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1 x 3.5kg salmon tail, cleaned, scaled
1 peach, thinly sliced
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 120°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Combine lemon thyme, fennel seeds, chilli flakes, butter, breadcrumbs, lemon zest and garlic in a bowl and season. Place salmon on tray and season. Fill cavity with peach and lemon slices followed by the breadcrumb mixture. Tie fish with kitchen string at 4cm intervals to keep intact while cooking. Drizzle with oil and season lightly with salt.
2.

Place a roasting dish half-filled with boiling water on the bottom of the oven. Roast fish for 1 hour 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 45°C on a thermometer. Loosely cover with foil and stand to rest for 15 minutes, then scatter with lemon thyme leaves and serve.
