Whether you’re roasting salmon for a special occasion or just a delicious family dinner, Belforno wood-fired ovens provide the ideal cooking environment for perfectly roasted fish. The heat retention and even cooking of wood-fired ovens ensure your salmon comes out tender, flaky, and full of flavor.
Ingredients:
2.2 kg Salmon (skin on)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 lemons
1 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh herbs (finely chopped)
Preparation:
Preheat your Belforno wood-fired oven to 550°F with a low flame. Wood-fired ovens provide a unique cooking environment that retains heat for perfectly roasted salmon.
Place the butter onto a rimmed baking sheet and place it in the oven until melted.
Trim and pin the bone of the salmon, then cut into portions without cutting through the skin.
Brush the melted butter over the top of the salmon. Sprinkle with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, fresh herbs, and the zest of one of the lemons.
Slice the second lemon into half-rounds and place the slices between each portion of salmon.
Roast the salmon in the wood-fired oven for 18–20 minutes. Turn the pan every 6 minutes to ensure the salmon is evenly cooked.
Allow the salmon to stand for 5 minutes before serving to lock in the flavors.
