How to Make Olive Oil Salmon Confit
  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a quick and even cooking process.
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Place the Salmon: Gently lay the salmon fillet on the lined baking sheet, skin side down.
  4. Mix the Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Drizzle the Olive Oil Mixture: Generously drizzle the mixture over the salmon, coating it well.
  6. Bake the Salmon: Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until flaky.
  7. Prepare the Gremolata: While the salmon is baking, mix lemon zest, garlic, parsley, and olive oil in a bowl.
  8. Serve with Gremolata: Once the salmon is done, top with the gremolata before serving.
