Ingredients

1.5 pounds wild salmon filet
2 oranges, blood oranges, mandarins, and/or grapefruits (can use a combo or not, very thinly sliced)
2 lemons/Meyer lemons/limes (can use a combo or not, very thinly sliced)
1 ½ cups olive oil
3 garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
1/2 red onion (thinly sliced into rings)
1 cup fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, tarragon, oregano and/or cilantro)
handfull fresh herb sprigs (can use any of the herbs above)
salt
pepper

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.

SLOW-ROASTED CITRUS SALMON WITH HERB SALAD

Slow-Roasted Citrus Salmon With Herb Salad image

This is truly the best way to cook salmon. Slowly roasting an already fatty fish in an even more luxurious fat (here, olive oil) makes it nearly impossible to overcook. Plus, you can flavor that oil with whatever you fancy - spices, herbs, citrus, chiles - which, in turn, will flavor the fish. It's a very simple method for cooking any large piece of fish (cod or halibut work well here, too). This makes it the ideal dinner party trick, sitting perfectly in the center of a Venn diagram where "looks impressive" and "not a ton of work" overlap. It also doubles beautifully. Store any leftover salmon in the remaining oil, which will keep it from drying out, and use it to elevate a salad or a bagel with cream cheese.

4 slices fresh lemon
4 slices fresh orange
4 (6 to 8-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly chopped dill

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.

LEMON HERBED SALMON

We sometimes send our delicious Washington salmon all the way to Michigan for my sister to use in this family-favorite dish! The tasty topping can be used on other types of fish, too. Fresh thyme from your garden really sparks the flavor. -Perlene Hoekema Lynden, Washington
