Slow-Roasted Salmon with Fresh Herbs

This slow-roasted salmon recipe is a great simple dinner idea but also keeps really well as leftovers to top on salads for a quick and easy lunch!

Since salmon is a fish rich in healthy fats, it is often cooked at a high heat to help give it a crispy crust, however, salmon is also delicious when slow-roasted. By keeping the oven temperature down, you are able to keep the moisture in the salmon and ensure that you get a flaky serving of fish every single time. The fresh herbs on this slow-roasted salmon can be added before roasting or simply slathered on top once the salmon has been cooked. I personally prefer to do a little bit of both, so you get all of the flavor and the best of both worlds.

Slow-Roasted Salmon with Fresh Herbs

Author: Stephanie Kay

This slow-roasted recipe makes just enough herb sauce to coat the salmon, however, if you want a little extra just make a double batch and add an extra dollop once the salmon is out of the oven.
