Slow Roasted Citrus Poached Salmon

April 30, 2019 by Crystal Leave a Comment

Slow roasted citrus poached salmon turned out to be my actual FAVORITE salmon of ALL TIME! That’s a big claim, I know, and not everything that comes out of this kitchen is mind-blowing. Some recipes are just great or really-good-for-a-quick-weeknight. Well, in this case, this salmon is mind-blowing AND really great for a weeknight dinner. It’s impressively beautiful studded with colorful citrus and is so insanely tender it melts in your mouth. Literally. The Food Artist and I were taking handfuls and shoving them in our mouths throughout the whole day, ya know, the way cavemen ate poached salmon.

The leftovers are equally amazing in salads, scrambled eggs, or a potato hash. The fish stays tender and flavorful. Gosh I wish I was eating this now!

And check out how pretty the whole process is. Oh and reserve the poaching oil because it’s infused with citrus and a slight nuance of salmon. Use it as salad dressing or to sauté other food, like veggies!
