Roasted Dill Salmon

 

INGREDIENTS

Yield:4 to 6 servings

• 1½pounds skin-on, center-cut salmon fillet
• 1¼teaspoons kosher salt
• ½teaspoon black pepper
• ¼cup fresh lime juice or Seville orange juice, plus additional wedges, for serving
• 2tablespoons olive oil
• 2tablespoons soy sauce
• 2tablespoons maple syrup
• 1tablespoon dried dill or 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 1large garlic clove, crushed
• ¼teaspoon ground turmeric
• ⅛teaspoon ground saffron (optional)

PREPARATION

1. Step 1

   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.

2. Step 2

   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.

3. Step 3

   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.
