Roasted Salmon with Rosemary-Garlic Oil

I love this dish. Roast the salmon to your desired temperature and mix olive oil, rosemary, garlic, maple and red pepper flakes to a lovely accent oil that’s earthy, spicy and sweet.

  • 1 filet salmon 
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 tsp salt, divided
  • 2 tbsp rosemary, chopped fine
  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (1.5 tsp if you’d like more heat!)
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped

Step 1

Preheat to 425F (alternatively you can pan sauté the fish). Pat dry the filet, and brush it gently with 2 tbsp oil and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt. Roast the salmon for 6-9 minutes, depending on your oven. Please add more cooking time if you prefer more doneness.


Step 2

While the salmon cooks, make the rosemary-garlic oil. Place 1/2 cup oil, 1 tsp salt and all remaining ingredients to a food processor and pulse until well-mixed. Taste for salt and spice level. Pour the rosemary oil over the hot fish.
