Preparación

1. 1

   --- Dry-brine salmon ---

2. 2

   Pat salmon filet dry, removing any excess moisture. In a small ramekin, combine kosher salt and sugar and stir to mix. Liberally coat the entire filet with salt and sugar mixture. Set aside for 20 minutes, then carefully rinse well with cold water and pat dry. While fish is brining, start on the tomatoes.

   Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add the tomatoes and cook until blistered all over (see photo), about 5-7 minutes. Remove pan from heat and leave to continue lightly charring.

   --- Salmon ---

6. 6

   Preheat oven to 300°F.

7. 7

   Season salmon all over to taste with kosher salt. Place fish in the baking dish. Top salmon with half of aleppo, urfa, and lemon zest. Add oil, lemon juice, remaining aleppo, urfa, zest. Add thyme and garlic, making sure both are submerged in oil. Add the tomatoes then season the oil generously with kosher salt (do not be afraid to use the salt generously as it will tie the flavors together.) Spoon a little oil over the tops of the salmon then transfer to the preheated oven.

8. 8

   Bake for 30-35 minutes or until thickest part registers at 145°F. Baste salmon with more of the olive oil mixture at the halfway mark. Make the scallion sauce while the salmon cooks.
