Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Step 2

Thinly slice 4 scallions and place in a medium bowl; set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium- high heat in a medium cast-iron skillet.

Step 6

Add the remaining scallions and season with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Cook, tossing occasionally, until deeply charred in spots, 4 to 6 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the scallions to a cutting board and coarsely chop.

Step 9

Add to the bowl with raw scallions along with the soy sauce, lemon zest and juice, orange juice, and remaining '/4 cup olive oil; season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 10

Using a large spatula, transfer the salmon to a large serving platter, leaving any skin behind.

Step 11

Spoon a bit of the charred scallion mixture over, serving any extra alongside.
