This orange and rosemary roasted salmon recipe is so easy and you can use any citrus and any herb you want. I used cara cara oranges and rosemary, but you could use lemon and thyme, or meyer lemons and marjoram, or lemon/lemon verbena -- the combos are endless. Make this super easy roasted salmon recipe when you want to prepare a flavorful salmon dinner that is impressive + requires little effort.
Honestly, this recipe is just super easy and super delicious.
I'm a big fan of braising, and while this isn't technically a braise, one can say it's inspired by braising with the higher content of liquid than just relying on pure convection/dry heat roast. The citrus and rosemary kind of infuses the olive oil with herbiness, so you get hints of it in the final product.
Drizzle a bit of that lovely orange-rosemary oil on top of the roasted salmon when you serve it.
