Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Dry salmon with a paper town, season both sides with salt and pepper and place on a large baking dish.
- Decorate salmon with citrus slices, onion rings, sliced garlic, herb sprig and half of the fresh herbs. I have way too much fun with this part and hope you do too.
- Drizzle salmon and all the fixings with olive oil. Season with a bit more salt and pepper.
- Bake 25-35 minutes, until salmon is just barely cooking through and turning opaque around the edges. Exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your cut.
- Transfer salmon to a serving platter (or enjoy straight from baking dish but may want to pour some of the olive oil out if you choose to do so).
- Sprinkle the remaining half of the fresh herbs on top and enjoy.
ROASTED SALMON WITH GREEN HERBS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.
- Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.
CITRUS BAKED SALMON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large 9 by 13 shallow baking dish place 1 lemon slice with 1 orange slice side by side so you'll end up with 4 groups. Each salmon fillet will have its own bed of citrus. Season each fillet with salt and pepper then place each salmon fillet over the 2 slices of lemon and orange. In a small bowl mix the dill, sun-dried tomatoes and tomato oil. Divide mixture on top of the salmon fillet, then drizzle with the wine. Place the baking dish in the oven and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
CITRUSY ROASTED SALMON AND POTATOES
Citrus-dressed salmon roasted over potatoes is a quick, flavorful one-pan meal that is perfect for any night of the week. Skin-on Yukon Golds are thinly sliced, fanned out and generously drizzled with a citrus sauce to serve as the base for the meal. The salmon is placed directly on top of the potatoes after they're briefly roasted, the fish is drizzled with more sauce, then everything roasts together until the salmon is tender and the potatoes are perfectly cooked through and irresistibly tangy. Feel free to swap out the cilantro for any fresh herb you prefer, such as dill or parsley.

Steps:
- Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, clementine or mandarin juice, lime juice, cilantro, shallot and garlic; set aside citrus sauce.
- Scrub the potatoes and slice them into ¼-inch-thick rounds. In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet (or similar oven-safe pan), fan out the potato rounds, overlapping them a little, to cover the surface of the skillet. Season well with salt (about 1 to 1½ teaspoons) and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle on a few red-pepper flakes. Stir the oil and citrus juice mixture to combine again, and spoon half of the sauce over the potatoes. Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden.
- Remove the skillet from the oven, season the salmon well with salt (about 1½ teaspoons) and pepper to taste and place the salmon on top of the potatoes, skin side down. Sprinkle with a few more red-pepper flakes. Spoon the rest of the citrus sauce over the salmon and top the fish with the citrus slices. Place the skillet back in the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through to your liking, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon fillet you can find. Look for a fillet that is firm and has a bright pink color. Avoid fillets that are soft or have a dull color.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits. This recipe calls for lemons, oranges, and limes, but you can use any citrus fruits you like. Grapefruit, tangerines, and clementines are all good options.
- Don't be afraid to use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs add a lot of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. The best way to tell if the salmon is done is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out easily, the salmon is done.
Conclusion:
This citrus-herb baked salmon is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with roasted vegetables, rice, or your favorite side dish.
