Instructions
Creating Slow Roasted Salmon with Gremolata is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 275°F (135°C).
2. Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and season with salt and pepper.
3. Roast the salmon: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 25-30 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
4. Make the gremolata: While the salmon is roasting, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, and mint (if using) in a small bowl. Mix well.
5. Toast the pine nuts: In a dry skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before adding to the gremolata.
6. Finish the gremolata: Stir the toasted pine nuts into the gremolata mixture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Let the salmon rest: Once the salmon is cooked, allow it to rest for 5 minutes at room temperature.
8. Serve: Spoon the gremolata over the salmon fillets before serving.
