The lemon slices give this dish a superb and refreshing taste. A change of pace from the typical Pesach salmon, yet really easy and beautiful for your Yom Tov table. I also love the fact that there are very few ingredients in this dish!

SERVES 6

• 6 salmon fillets, cleaned and rinsed
• 3 Tbsp oil
• 2 onions, diced
• 6 Tbsp sugar
• 2 lemons, peeled and sliced
• 2 oranges, peeled and sliced
• salt and pepper, for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Heat oil in a heavy saucepan. Add onions and sauté until caramelized. Add sugar and stir to combine. Add lemon and orange slices and bring to a simmer, stirring to break up the fruit and release juices. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the fruit softens. Remove from heat.

Place salmon into a baking pan or a foil grill pan. Sprinkle salmon generously with salt and pepper to taste. Spread the citrus sauce over the salmon, covering the top completely. Bake for 20 minutes.
