Slow Baked Salmon With Lemon And Onion

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 lb salmon fillets

  (about 2-3 fillets)
• olive oil
• salt
• black pepper
• 1 small yellow onion or half a large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 lemon

  (and more for serving if desired)
• several sprigs of fresh thyme

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 300℉ (or 145-150℃).
• 2 Massage the salmon fillets with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper
  generously over them. You may use ¾ – 1 teaspoon of salt per 1 lb of salmon. Set
  aside (it is best if you can give them time to become less cold).
• 3 Reserve a quarter of the lemon and thinly slice the remaining.
• 4 Spread a thin layer of onion slices in a baking dish to create a bed for the
  salmon to sit on. Place the salmon fillets on the onion bed, then scatter thyme
  leaves, lemon slices and the remaining onion slices on top of it. Squeeze the
  last lemon quarter all over.
• 5 Cover the baking dish and then put it into the oven. Bake for about 30-40
  minutes (more or less depending on how thick your fillets are) until the
  internal temperature reaches 125℉-130℉ (52-54℃).
• 6 Remove from the oven and serve with more lemon wedges on the side if desired.
