Slow-Roasted Thanksgiving Salmon

Roasted turkey not your thing? Surprise your Thanksgiving table with our recipe for slow-roasted salmon instead.

Not only is this dish beyond simple to prepare, but it will also take you a fraction of the time compared to preparing a traditional holiday turkey or ham.

All you need is lemon, garlic, dill, and butter — yes, it's really that straightforward. Compared to cooking the salmon in 12-15 minutes, you'll set your oven to a lower temperature and allow the fish to delicately roast for half an hour, allowing it to become a desirable level of warm and juicy.

Depending on how many people you plan on cooking for, consider ordering one of our fresh salmon. The Oshen's Twelve is perfect for larger groups, while the One Night Stand is ideal for solo couples.

As for sides, this recipe is adaptable enough to pair nicely with just about anything — from cranberry torte to savory green beans.
