This recipe for slow roasted salmon is quick, easy, and absolutely delicious. Make it today.
Last year I took part in a course called the “Style Mastermind”. This course is run by Sam Adler, the founder of the blog Frosting and Fettuccine. In that course, I was introduced to some of the best women. All of them are wonderfully creative cooks, bakers, photographers, and are just lovely people. I have been systematically going through each of their websites and finding recipes and making them. This recipe is from my friend Anita’s website, Wild Thistle Kitchen. The recipe is that of her late fathers. I won’t attempt to retell the story or use her words as she does it so beautifully and eloquently.

- 2 Pounds of fresh salmon. Anita recommends a center cut
- 1 cup white wine

- 1 garlic clove finely minced or grated
- 2 tablespoon fresh dill plus a few sprigs

How do you make it?
- Preheat your oven to 275°F
- Slice the lemon and lay on the bottom of your roasting pan or baking dish. Lay the salmon on top of the of the lemon slices. Cover the salmon in salt and pepper to your taste.
- Mix together the butter, 2 tablespoon of dill, and the garlic. In several globs (yes globs), line the salmon with the butter. Pour the white wine in the pan. Cover the salmon with parchment paper and then aluminum foil on top. Place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Remember, salmon is done when it has an internal temperature of 145°F or higher. Be sure to check. If it needs a few more minutes, stick it back in the oven. Serve immediately and enjoy!
