Ingredients
-
1 pound salmon fillet
-
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
-
⅛ teaspoon salt plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided
-
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil plus 3/4 cup, divided
-
1 small shallot, chopped
-
6 cloves garlic, chopped
-
½ cup fresh cilantro
-
¼ cup fresh dill
-
¼ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
-
2 tablespoons fresh oregano
-
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 300°F.
-
Place salmon (skin-side down if using skin-on) on a large rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with paprika, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Bake until the salmon is just opaque and easily flakes with a fork, about 20 minutes.
-
Combine the remaining 3/4 cup oil, shallot, garlic, cilantro, dill, parsley, oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender; blend until smooth. Serve 1/4 cup sauce over the salmon (reserve the remaining sauce for another use).
To make ahead
Refrigerate sauce (Step 3) in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
