Orange Spring Salmon

This picture doesn't do this recipe justice. I thought this fish was good last night but it was amazing today at lunch. My mouth is watering for more. It was super simple, delicious and even complex tasting. I can't wait to make it again.

1 lb salmon fillet
2 oranges
1/2 lemon
1/2 onion
2 green onions
dill
salt
pepper
olive oil

Thinly slice the 1/2 onion and 1 orange (unpeeled), put into a baking dish and sprinkle olive oil, salt and pepper on top of it. Bake at 400 for 20-30 min. Fry the salmon skin side down in a little olive oil for 5 min. or until the skin is crispy. Lay the fillet in the baking dish skin side down and sprinkle dill, salt and pepper on top. Put the baked orange slices and onions on top of the salmon and put the dish back in the oven at 450 for 10-15min. or when the fish is fully cooked. While that is cooking squeeze into a bowl the other orange and 1/2 lemon, slice the green onions and add some dill, stir. Once the salmon is cooked and cooled (or chilled even) remove the orange peels, pour the juices over the salmon and serve.
