Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs salmon fillet (preferably wild-caught)
- 1 whole orange
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 whole lime
- 3 sprigs fresh dill
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (sliced thinly)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Thinly slice the orange, lemon, and lime into rounds, and remove any visible seeds.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create a glaze. Brush the glaze generously over the salmon fillet.
Arrange the citrus slices on top of and around the salmon, overlapping slightly for a visually appealing presentation.
Sprinkle the thinly sliced garlic evenly over the salmon and citrus slices.
Tuck the sprigs of fresh dill and thyme around the salmon and citrus for added flavor and presentation.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast the salmon for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is opaque at the thickest part.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the citrus roasted salmon warm, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a light salad.
