Ingredients

• 2 lbs salmon fillet (preferably wild-caught)
• 1 whole orange
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 whole lime
• 3 sprigs fresh dill
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (sliced thinly)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Step 2

Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Thinly slice the orange, lemon, and lime into rounds, and remove any visible seeds.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create a glaze. Brush the glaze generously over the salmon fillet.

Step 5

Arrange the citrus slices on top of and around the salmon, overlapping slightly for a visually appealing presentation.

Step 6

Sprinkle the thinly sliced garlic evenly over the salmon and citrus slices.

Step 7

Tuck the sprigs of fresh dill and thyme around the salmon and citrus for added flavor and presentation.

Step 8

Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast the salmon for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is opaque at the thickest part.

Step 9

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve the citrus roasted salmon warm, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a light salad.
