Ingredients

  1. salmon - 1 whole
  2. herbs (such as thyme, rosemary) - to taste (for steeping)
  3. garlic - to taste (for steeping)
  4. olive oil - as needed (for injection and layering)
  5. citrus (lemon, lime, orange) - as needed (zested and juiced)
  6. salt - as needed (for citrus salt bed)

Instructions

  1. Steep Herbs and Garlic in Olive Oil: Steep a selection of herbs and garlic in olive oil to infuse it with flavors.
  2. Inject the Salmon: Fully inject the herb-infused olive oil into the salmon to flavor it from the inside.
  3. Prepare the Citrus Salt: Zest a variety of citrus fruits and mix the zest with salt, then add citrus juice to moisten the mixture.
  4. Assemble the Citrus Salt Bed: Layer some of the citrus salt on a baking surface, place the salmon on top, and then cover completely with more citrus salt.
  5. Bake the Salmon: Grill (or bake) the salmon encased in the citrus salt at a moderate temperature until cooked through, approximately 2 hours.
  6. Uncover the Salmon: Once the salt shell is hard and the salmon is cooked, break the salt shell to reveal the juicy, herb-infused salmon inside.
