Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
One 2-pound side of salmon, about 1 1/2 inches thick with skin on (preferably wild-caught)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large Meyer lemons, 1 thinly sliced and 1 cut into wedges
8 to 9 large green olives, gently smashed flat
4 to 5 sprigs oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Drizzle the parchment with a little olive oil and place the salmon, skin-side down, on the oiled paper. Drizzle a little more oil over the salmon. Next, sprinkle with a good amount of salt and pepper. Top the salmon with a layer of the sliced lemons, tucking some under the salmon, as well. Then add the olives and oregano sprigs.
  • Baked until the salmon is cooked to your preferred doneness, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Serve immediately with the lemon wedges.
