Slow Cooked King Salmon

This salmon melts in your mouth.  Slow cooking anything makes the dish more juicy and tender.  Add a pan of water to your oven, and you create a humid environment that will keep the fish very moist.

Ingredients:

• 1 King salmon fillet, 2-3 pounds
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Gray salt
• Half cracked peppercorns
• Freshly ground pepper

Method:

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.

Place a baking pan with a few cups of water on the bottom rack of the oven.

Lightly brush the bottom of a baking pan with the olive oil.

Brush olive oil on the salmon (all sides.)  Season generously with gray salt, half cracked pepper and ground pepper.

Place salmon in oiled baking dish and bake in oven for approximately an hour. . . When juices begin to form on top and the salmon is a little firm – it is done.

Serve with freshly made Meyer Lemon Relish
