Ingredients

  • 1 medium lemon seeds removed, entire fruit, including rind, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove chopped fine
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 TB white wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 ½ pound salmon fillet

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 325F. In a small bowl, combine chopped lemon, garlic, oregano and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper, then add olive oil. Mix and set aside.
  • Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Place skin side down in a 9 x 13 (or similar) baking dish. Spoon half the lemon dressing over the salmon.
  • Place salmon in oven until just cooked through, approximately 15-20 minutes depending upon the thickness of the salmon. If using a meat thermometer, cook to 145F.

Notes

I usually serve this with a green vegetable and a simple salad.
For an impressive presentation, use a whole skin-on salmon fillet. Spread lettuce pieces on a serving platter and place the cooked fillet in large pieces on top of the lettuce. Spoon the remaining lemon dressing over the salmon and lettuce.
