Directions for: Roasted Salmon with Green Herbs

Ingredients

1 (2- to 2 1/2-lb) skinless salmon fillet

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

cup good olive oil

2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

cup minced scallions, white and green parts (4 scallions)

cup minced fresh dill

cup minced fresh parsley

cup dry white wine

Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.

2. Place the salmon fillet in a glass, ceramic, or stainless-steel roasting dish and season it generously with salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and drizzle the mixture evenly over the salmon. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.

3. In a small bowl, stir together the scallions, dill, and parsley. Scatter the herb mixture over the salmon fillet, turning it so that both sides are generously coated with the green herbs. Pour the wine around the fish fillet.

4. Roast the salmon for 10 to 12 minutes, until almost cooked in the center at the thickest part. The center will be firm with just a line of uncooked salmon in the very center. (I peek by inserting the tip of a small knife.) Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the salmon crosswise into serving pieces and serve hot with lemon wedges.
