Preparation

• Position one oven rack in the center and one rack about 6 inches from the broiler. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a sheet pan longways with a large piece of foil, large enough to fold over the salmon. Brush the foil with extra virgin olive oil.
• Zest one of the lemons into a small bowl or measuring cup, then add the juice from both lemons. Add the extra virgin olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, and black pepper and whisk to combine.
• Pat the salmon dry and season well on both sides with salt. Place it on the foil, skin side down. Carefully pour the lemon garlic sauce on top, bending the foil upwards around the fish to contain the liquid. Use a spoon or a pastry brush to spread the sauce evenly across the surface of the fish. Slice half of the remaining lemon into rounds and the other half into wedges, and place the rounds on top of the salmon.
• Fold the loose end of the foil up and over the salmon, tenting it high enough so there’s an air pocket between the foil and the lemons on top of the salmon. Crimp the foil closed at the top and sides to encase the fish and trap the steam.
• Bake in the hot oven until the salmon is almost cooked through at the thickest part, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Carefully remove the pan from the oven and open the foil, folding it out to reveal the top of the salmon. Turn your broiler to high and place the salmon under the broiler briefly, until the top is lightly browned and the salmon is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Watch closely as it broils to prevent burning.
• Sprinkle the salmon with the parsley and serve with the lemon wedges on the side.
