Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300°F.
Step 2
Season the salmon with kosher salt and pepper on both sides and place it in a large baking dish (a rimmed baking sheet will also work in a pinch, although the salmon will not quite be submerged) with the sliced lemons, oranges, and herb sprigs, if using.
Step 3
Drizzle the olive oil over everything and place the baking dish in the oven. Cook the salmon until it is just turning opaque around the edges and is nearly cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 4
Toss the herbs with the lemon juice and flaky sea salt, and serve with your perfect salmon.
Step 5

Chef's notes
You can flavor the oil with whatever you fancy:
spices, herbs, citrus, chiles.
This method is by far the most delicious, easy, and customizable way to cook any large piece of fish.
