From the Test Kitchen

In this vibrant dish, salmon is coated with a bold blend of smoked paprika, cumin, and more, then roasted between slices of fresh orange for bright, citrusy flavor. We’re serving it over a hearty bed of farro, roasted shishito peppers and radishes, and sweet bites of diced orange—all brought together with our herby salsa verde.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high.

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Quarter the radishes lengthwise. Halve the orange crosswise. Thinly slice one half into rounds. Peel and medium dice the remaining half. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; cut into 1-inch pieces. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling. 

Season the vegetables

4 Roast the vegetables & fish

Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). Place half the orange slices in a single layer on the other side of the sheet pan of seasoned vegetables. Place the seasoned fish on top of the orange slices, pushing the two fillets together. Top with the remaining orange slices. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork and the fish is cooked through.* Remove from the oven.
