Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds skin-on, center-cut salmon fillet
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fresh lime juice or Seville orange juice, plus additional wedges, for serving
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon dried dill or 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 large garlic clove, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground saffron (optional)

Steps:

Heat the oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the center position. Choose a baking sheet or baking dish that fits the salmon snugly (so the juices don't disperse and burn) and line it with parchment paper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet and season well with salt and pepper.
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over the salmon. If you have time, flip the salmon and let marinate directly on the baking sheet, flesh-side down, for 15 minutes.
Roast the salmon skin-side down until cooked through to your liking, 9 to 12 minutes. Serve with extra lime or orange wedges, and drizzle the pan juices over the salmon and rice.
