Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 to 2 large orange, (blood orange, car acara or other variety, sliced into rounds)
  • 1 large lemon (thinly sliced into rounds, plus juice of half a lemon)
  • 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet, (skin removed)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (or 3/4 teaspoon Aleppo pepper )
  • 1 clove garlic, (minced)
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instruction

  • Heat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Lightly oil the bottom of a baking dish and arrange some of the orange and lemon slices on it.
  • Season the salmon with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides. Mix together the oregano, mint, and Aleppo chile flakes. Rub this seasoning mix over the salmon.
  • Place the seasoned salmon in the baking dish over the arranged citrus slices. Top with the minced garlic, lemon juice, and drizzle with 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Arrange the remaining citrus slices on top of the salmon and drizzle with a bit more olive oil.
  • Roast in the heated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, watching carefully to make sure the salmon does not overcook (the top may look a bit translucent still, but if the salmon flakes easily, it is ready).
