  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 5 servings

Ingredients

Salmon and Seasoning

  • 3 lbs. salmon filet, with skin
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Thinly sliced lemon, from one lemon
  • Sprigs of fresh rosemary, enough to cover the baking pan
  • Kyoord Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for drizzling (approximately 3-4 tablespoons)

Dressing

  • 3 tbs. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup Kyoord Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3-4 tbs. fresh Italian parsley, chopped finely
  • 2-3 tbs. honey
  • 1 scallion, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. coarse-ground black pepper

Other

  • Parchment paper
  • Sheet pan

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, salt, extra virgin olive oil, finely chopped Italian parsley, honey, chopped scallion, and coarse-ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Set the dressing aside at room temperature until ready to serve.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius) to allow for slow roasting, which helps in achieving a tender and juicy texture in the salmon.
  3. Prepare the Baking Pan: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Arrange thin lemon slices evenly on the parchment paper, followed by sprigs of fresh rosemary laid across the lemon slices to create an aromatic bed for the salmon.
  4. Season the Salmon: Place the salmon filet skin-side down on top of the lemon and rosemary bed. Drizzle with a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil and gently rub it over the entire surface of the salmon. Sprinkle 1 tsp. of salt evenly over the top to season the fish.
  5. Slow Roast the Salmon: Place the sheet pan with the salmon in the preheated oven. Bake slowly at 275°F for 30 to 35 minutes, adjusting the time depending on the thickness of the filet and your preferred level of doneness. The low temperature ensures even cooking and preserves moisture.
  6. Serve with Dressing: Once the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the prepared fresh herb and lemon dressing over the top of the salmon just before serving to add brightness and complementary flavors.

Notes

  • Maintain a low oven temperature for slow roasting to ensure tender, moist salmon.
  • Adjust lemon and honey quantities in the dressing to taste for a sweeter or more tangy finish.
  • Use fresh herbs for the dressing for best flavor impact.
  • Ensure the skin is left on the salmon to help keep the flesh intact and add flavor.
  • Allow the salmon to rest a few minutes after roasting for better flavor absorption from the dressing.
