Salmon with Soy and Citrusy Charred Scallions
Serves 4 to 8
2 bunches scallions or spring onions, white and green parts, trimmed
2–3 pounds skin-on salmon fillet
¼ cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon or lime zest plus ¼ cup fresh lemon or lime juice (from about
2 lemons or 4 limes)
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (from about 1 orange)
Crushed red pepper flakes
1 Preheat the oven to 325°F. Thinly slice 4 scallions and place in a medium bowl; set aside.
2 Place the salmon skin side down in a large baking dish and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and lots of pepper. Place in the oven and roast until the center begins to turn from deep sunset orange to salmon-y pink, but still remains pretty medium-rare toward the top, 10 to 12 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a medium cast-iron skillet. Add the remaining scallions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until deeply charred in spots, 4 to 6 minutes.
4 Transfer the scallions to a cutting board and coarsely chop. Add to the bowl with raw scallions along with the soy sauce, lemon zest and juice, orange juice, and remaining ¼ cup olive oil; season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
5 Using a large spatula, transfer the salmon to a large serving platter, leaving any skin behind. Spoon a bit of the charred scallion mixture over, serving any extra alongside.
