This roasted salmon recipe comes together quickly and mimics the flavor and buttery texture of fish poached in copious amounts of olive oil. This method uses less than a 1/3 cup of olive oil but the finished salmon stays incredibly moist and flavorful thanks to ample fresh citrus and a touch of steam from the Anova Precision Oven. The oven perfectly cooks the salmon in around 30 minutes, so it is a dish that is special enough to make for weekend company but also easy enough to whip up for a quick weeknight dinner. Make sure to store any leftover fish covered in the vinaigrette (this will keep it from drying out) and enjoy it chilled in salads or break it up with a fork and use as an alternative to tuna fish in a sandwich.

In a 9- by 13-inch baking dish, whisk together the mandarin juice, lime juice, lemon juice, honey, garlic, a large pinch of salt, and several large grinds of black pepper.

Sprinkle the olives around the fish then stir into the vinaigrette. Shingle the citrus slices over the top of the salmon then spoon with some of the vinaigrette. Insert the probe into the thickest part of the fish.

Transfer the baking dish to the oven, attach the probe, and cook until the probe reaches the set internal temperature, 20 to 35 minutes, opening the oven and spooning the vinaigrette over the salmon once after 10 minutes. The timing for this step will vary depending on the thickness of your fish.
