Baked Salmon with Parsley, Onion, and Lemon (Salmone Con Prezzemolo, Cipolla e Limone)
Cook:
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • One bunch of parsley, chopped finely
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • ½ red onion, finely diced
  • 1 pound of salmon fillet
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • ⅓rd of a cup of lemon juice
Process
  1. Sprinkle the salmon fillet with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and work the ingredients into the fish. Add olive to the top of the fish. In a large baking dish or pan add a bit of olive oil and cover the entire bottom by spreading with your hands. Place the salmon in a pre-heated 375 degree °F oven and bake for 10-15 minutes depending on the size/weight of the fish. Salmon should not be overcooked and you can serve the fish with a rare center (or slightly cooked center). I prefer the center to be warm to the touch but not cooked entirely, this is especially important for wild salmon (which tends to have a lower fat content). In a separate bowl, mix ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil, Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. When the salmon is finished cooking, and just prior to serving, spoon the sauce over the salmon. Garnish the serving plate with sliced lemon. Baked salmon goes well with potato crocchette and a glass of Pinot Noir or Aglianico.
