Easy Slow Baked Salmon: Are you ready for a new fish recipe? We are sharing the Baked Salmon recipe. Eating fish is not a diet, it’s a way of life, and wow, this salmon is delicious. Straight from the January cover of Bon Appétit issue.

This easy recipe is for a slow-roasted salmon that I tried and adapted from the January issue, called The Cooking School Issue. This recipe is not only delicious, but it’s also simple to make.

How easy? Just let me show you how! You’ll be saving this recipe to make any night of the week, Meatless Mondays, for special occasions, or even a Valentine’s Day dinner idea… Do you want to add more fish to your diet to be healthier? Get started with this salmon dinner that is baked in the oven!

I must admit I am often intimidated by fine cooking magazines. Not reading them, but cooking from them. Thinking that there are mostly amazing recipes to look at, yet possibly hard to make. 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. Remember, you will only get better if you push yourself and your skill levels!

The original recipe is officially called Slow-Roasted Salmon with Fennel, Citrus, and Chiles, which I slightly adapted by omitting the fennel.

It is simply baked at 275°F for 30-40 minutes for medium-rare salmon.

What I love about this dish is that 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.

Ingredients

  • Meyer Lemon

STEP 2. Next, wash the fresh dill sprigs and add fresh sprigs of dill to the dish.

STEP 3. Lay the fish on top of the citrus, jalapeno slices, and dill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then pour olive oil over the fish.

The olive oil drops to the bottom of the pan, and the layer of citrus keeps the oil from getting soaked up in the fish. 

STEP 4. Put it directly into the preheated oven (275°F) and bake!

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