- 4 4-6 oz pieces of salmon
- 2-3 lemons zested and juiced
- 2-3 oranges zested and juiced
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- arugula
- chopped cucumber
- salt and pepper
Zest and juice the citrus and combine in a bowl with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and the garlic. Place salmon in a greased baking dish and pour over 1/2 of the citrus mixture and then sprinkle the salmon with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika and allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat the oven to 250. Spread the sliced red onion over the salmon and bake for 35-45 minutes until it is cooked through. I turned on the broiler for the last 5 minutes to get a little more char on the onions and fish.
Add the remaining olive oil to the rest of the citrus mixture and taste and season as needed with salt, pepper, more citrus, etc. Add the chopped herbs right before serving to keep them fresh.
Place your arugula or other greens and cucumbers on a plate and top with salmon and onions. Spoon the dressing over and serve.
