Ingredients
- salmon - 1 whole
- herbs (such as thyme, rosemary) - to taste (for steeping)
- garlic - to taste (for steeping)
- olive oil - as needed (for injection and layering)
- citrus (lemon, lime, orange) - as needed (zested and juiced)
- salt - as needed (for citrus salt bed)
Instructions
- Steep Herbs and Garlic in Olive Oil: Steep a selection of herbs and garlic in olive oil to infuse it with flavors.
- Inject the Salmon: Fully inject the herb-infused olive oil into the salmon to flavor it from the inside.
- Prepare the Citrus Salt: Zest a variety of citrus fruits and mix the zest with salt, then add citrus juice to moisten the mixture.
- 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.
- Bake the Salmon: Grill (or bake) the salmon encased in the citrus salt at a moderate temperature until cooked through, approximately 2 hours.
- 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.
