Fancy slicing of fresh green onions, 30 minutes.

Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 325F. Thinly slice 4 spring onions and put in a medium bowl.
  2. Put the salmon in a large baking dish, skin-side down. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of the olive oil and season with salt and lots of pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes or until the centre begins to turn pink but remains medium-rare towards the top.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over a medium-high heat. Cook the whole spring onions with some seasoning for 4-6 minutes, tossing now and then, until they are deeply charred in spots. Transfer to a cutting board and coarsely chop. Add to the bowl with the raw spring onions, along with the soy sauce, the citrus zest and juice, and 1/4 cup olive oil. Season and add the chilli flakes to taste.
  4. Transfer the salmon to a large serving platter, leaving any skin behind. Spoon a bit of the spring onion mixture over, serving any extra alongside.
