I first ate this dish in Rome in a small trattoria, it was made with white fish and I instantly fell in love with its lemony olive rich flavors, it came with toasted bread and some vegetable crudit\u00e9s. It was so good I couldn&#8217;t stop thinking about it and made it right away after coming back home. Since then its a regular on our dinner rotation and have made this several times since, but only now got around to sharing it with you guys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serve it with pasta, over toasted bread, its delicious with a green salad or even or rice. Once you have finished with the salmon the leftover olive oil makes a perfect vinaigrette, so please don&#8217;t toss it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11849\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/?attachment_id=11849\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5765-2.jpg?fit=2014%2C2048&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2014,2048\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC_5765-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5765-2.jpg?fit=1007%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5765-2.jpg?resize=833%2C847\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11849\" width=\"833\" height=\"847\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5765-2.jpg?resize=1007%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1007w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5765-2.jpg?resize=295%2C300&amp;ssl=1 295w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5765-2.jpg?resize=768%2C781&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5765-2.jpg?resize=1511%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1511w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5765-2.jpg?w=2014&amp;ssl=1 2014w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11844\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/?attachment_id=11844\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5795.jpg?fit=1364%2C2048&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1364,2048\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC_5795\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5795.jpg?fit=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5795.jpg?resize=818%2C1227\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11844\" width=\"818\" height=\"1227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5795.jpg?resize=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5795.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5795.jpg?resize=768%2C1153&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5795.jpg?resize=1023%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1023w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5795.jpg?w=1364&amp;ssl=1 1364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve a perfectly baked salmon here are some tips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Choose wild caught, sustainable, never frozen salmon if possible. Best to ask the fishmonger whats fresh that day, also ask him\/her to remove skin and bones if you&#8217;re not sure how to prep the fish. A good fishmonger is knowledgable about quality and good fish for your recipe. <\/li><li>Choose center cut salmon, it&#8217;s the most moist and thickest part of the fish and tastes the best (in my opinion).<\/li><li>Another tip I learned on a Bourdain Parts Unknown episode in Lyon, chef Bocuse emphasized to achieve a perfectly baked salmon, bake the salmon at low temperature about 250 -300\u00b0F for 30 minutes depending on the thickness. Keep the seasoning simple, never over cook a fish. This renders a perfectly moist baked salmon thats not fishy smelling. <\/li><li>For this recipe its important to get the best olive oil. The focus of this dish is the olive and the best quality olive oil makes all the difference. <\/li><li>To check if the salmon is cooked, use a skewer or a fork and pierce it into the thickest part of the fish, count to 5-7 then take the skewer fork out and hold it against your lip. If it feels nice and warm-hot, the salmon is cooked. (<em>I know its not the most scientific way, but its a quick way to check)<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11846\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/?attachment_id=11846\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5803.jpg?fit=1364%2C2048&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1364,2048\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC_5803\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5803.jpg?fit=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5803.jpg?resize=832%2C1249\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11846\" width=\"832\" height=\"1249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5803.jpg?resize=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5803.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5803.jpg?resize=768%2C1153&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5803.jpg?resize=1023%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1023w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_5803.jpg?w=1364&amp;ssl=1 1364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Salmon with citrus olive gremolata<br>Serves 2-3 as main course with sides and some carbs or 6-8 as an appetizer<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1&nbsp;lb&nbsp;center-cut fillet of fresh sustainable, wild salmon preferred <\/li><li>salt and black pepper to taste<\/li><li>3 tablespoons capers<\/li><li>juice and zest of one lemon<\/li><li>1&nbsp;cup&nbsp;pitted castelvetrano olives<\/li><li>\u00bc -\u00bd cup cold pressed extra virgin&nbsp;olive oil <\/li><li>1&nbsp;handful&nbsp;flat-leaf Italian parsley, chopped<\/li><li>3&nbsp;whole&nbsp;scallions, finely chopped&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Preheat the oven to 250 \u00b0F. <\/li><li>Place the salmon in a baking dish, skin side down and drizzle with \u00bd  the olive oil.<\/li><li> Season the fish with salt, pepper and lemon zest. <\/li><li>Bake the salmon for 30-40 minutes until the flesh is opaque and center of the fish is firm to the touch**.
