I must admit I am often intimidated by fine cooking magazines. Not reading them but, cooking from them. Thinking that there are mostly recipes that are amazing to look at and great to eat if someone else cooks it for you! But, trying to come out of my cooking comfort zone I decided to dive in to find a recipe to tackle.

The original recipe is officially called Slow-Roasted Salmon with Fennel, Citrus, and Chiles which I slightly adapted by omitting the fennel and just calling baked because after all it is simply baked at 275 degrees for 30-40 minutes for medium-rare salmon.

What I love about this dish, is you can use it again with other fish such as cod, halibut, John Dory or turbot fillets. We are huge cod lovers so I know that I’ll be trying this recipe with cod another time. Since we hadn’t had salmon in a while and fresh salmon was available on sale at our local grocers it was perfect timing for cooking salmon for dinner.

STEP 3. Lay the fish on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then pour olive oil over the fish. Which drops to the bottom of the pan, the layer of citrus keeps the oil from getting soaked up in the fish. 

STEP 2. Put it directly into the preheated oven and bake!

Make herb rice, a green salad, and slice lemons while your salmon is cooking.
