Salmon with Blood Oranges and Olive Oil

Ingredients

• 2 blood oranges
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 6 center-cut salmon fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each, preferably with skin on
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground black and white pepper
• Chopped fresh dill or parsley for serving 

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Juice one of the oranges and strain out any seeds. Whisk in the olive oil. Cut the other orange into thin slices and remove any seeds.

Step 2

Arrange the salmon fillets skin side down in a baking dish. Drizzle half the olive oil–orange juice mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. Season generously with salt and pepper, and then top each fillet with an orange slice. 

Step 3

Drizzle the remaining olive oil–orange juice mixture over the orange slices. Bake the salmon, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, or until done to your liking.

Step 4

Transfer to a platter or plates and garnish with the dill or parsley.
