Commentary for Exodus 29:25
וְלָקַחְתָּ֤ אֹתָם֙ מִיָּדָ֔ם וְהִקְטַרְתָּ֥ הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חָה עַל־הָעֹלָ֑ה לְרֵ֤יחַ נִיח֙וֹחַ֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה אִשֶּׁ֥ה ה֖וּא לַיהוָֽה׃
And thou shalt take them from their hands, and make them smoke on the altar upon the burnt-offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD; it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Rashi on Exodus
על העלה BESIDES THE BURNT OFFERING — besides the first ram which you had already offered up as a burnt offering.

Siftei Chakhamim
After the earlier ram. Rashi is saying that the burning of the parts to be burnt from the שלמים sacrifice came after the placing of the burnt offering on the altar. I.e., we should not think that על העולה means to place the parts to be burnt from the שלמים sacrifice, with its shoulder and loaves, on top of the burnt offering and burn them all together.

Rashi on Exodus
לריח ניחוח AS A PLEASING ODOUR — as a gratification of spirit to Him Who gave the command and found that His will was carried out (cf. Sifra, Vayikra Dibbura d'Nedavah, Chapter 6 10).
