Ingredients
- 1 lb (16 oz) salmon (4 salmon fillets)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp basil
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 orange, sliced into rounds
- ½ of a grapefruit or blood orange, sliced into rounds
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and then add parchment paper on top. Put salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin-side down.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, basil, and salt & pepper. Using a spoon/brush/spatula, put it all over the salmon. Top the salmon with sliced orange and grapefruit.
- Bake the salmon in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is flaky when pulled apart with a fork. I also use a meat thermometer to make sure that the internal temperature is at 110 to 140 degrees at the thickest part of the salmon.
- Add cracked black pepper on top. Enjoy solo or add on top of a big salad with roasted veggies like broccoli and carrots.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
