Instructions

Step 1

Brush the salmon with oil. Place the salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet (skin side down), then brush the top with just ½ tablespoon olive oil.

Step 2

Prep the orange. Slice the orange in half and juice one half, then peel the other half and thinly slice the fruit into half moons.

Step 3

Make the fennel topping. In a medium bowl, toss together the remaining olive oil, sliced fennel, orange slices and juice, shallot, lemon zest and juice, honey, herbs, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

A whole slow roasted salmon with fennel orange topping on a lined baking sheet.

Step 5

It’s slow roasting time! Top the salmon with the orange fennel mixture. Then roast the salmon for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish and how “done” you like it. But be sure to check the recipe card for extra roasting notes!

Step 6

Ready to serve. Remove the salmon from the oven, serve it straight from the sheet pan and scoop any extra pan juices on top.
