Salmon
- 1 1/4 pounds salmon
- salt and pepper, to taste Herb Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup grapeseed oil or avocado oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Step 2: Stir together all vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl until smooth. You can also emulsify the ingredients together with a stick blender (we like this one).
- Step 3: Slice the salmon into single-serving portions and lay skin-side down on a foil-lined and rimmed baking sheet or oven-safe casserole dish. Spread 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette over the tops of the salmons. Season with additional salt and pepper.
- Step 4: Roast for 12 to 15 min, or until just cooked. The exact cooking time is dependent on the height of the fish. A thin filet (1 inch or less) will only need between 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve: Drizzle the salmon a few tablespoons of the remaining vinaigrette, to taste. Enjoy. Any extra vinaigrette will last up to 1 week refrigerated and can also be used in a side salad or Blueberry Hemp Seed Salad.
