Roasted Wild Salmon Recipe
Cara Stewart, RD, LDN, is a member of the Penn Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery team. In this blog post, she shares a great, Irish-inspired recipe for roasted salmon.

For a simple, Irish-inspired meal, serve this recipe for roasted salmon with collard greens and mashed potatoes. Choose wild over farmed salmon whenever possible. Wild salmon is higher in protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids and more environmentally sustainable compared to farmed Atlantic salmon.

Roasted Wild Salmon

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 4 1/2 ounces)

Ingredients

1 (2 1/4-pound) wild salmon fillet
Cooking spray
2 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
8 (1/8-inch-thick) slices lemon

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 450°.
  2. Place fish, skin side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush fish with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle dill and rind over fish; arrange lemon slices over fish. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of "doneness."
