Ingredients
- 1 ½ pound sockeye salmon skin-on or skin-off, fillets
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- parsley or dill (chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Place the sockeye on a work surface. Rub the fish with olive oil on all sides. Then sprinkle salt and pepper on top.
- Put the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and place 4 lemon slices on top.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until medium-rare. Check doneness by inserting a knife tip into the thickest section and twisting – the flesh should appear slightly translucent. You can also insert an instant-read thermometer and look for an internal temperature of 130°F
- Remove from the oven. Remove the skin using a fish spatula if desired.
- Sprinkle fresh herbs on top before serving.
