Crispy, Tender Salmon with Roasted Lemons

If you’re looking for an easy way to make excellent salmon, look no further than your Ooni oven. The oven’s high temperatures crisp up the salmon skin beautifully, the fish cooks quickly and the filet stays tender inside. We like to keep it simple here, opting for just salt, pepper and lemon to season our fish. 

A few key steps make this salmon a knockout–preheating your cast iron pan in the oven helps to make the skin golden and crisp. Adding olive oil directly to the salmon instead of the pan helps reduce flare-ups when cooking at high heat. And finally, roasting the lemons alongside your fish allows the fruit to release all of its juices and create a robust citrus flavor.

We like to pair this with a fennel salad, crispy potatoes or our roasted carrots with salsa verde, but feel free to get creative!
