• Salt to your taste or special diet

Preparation

For the rub, place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well to a smooth paste then carefully rub into the salmon.

Then in a baking dish melt the butter until lightly browned then place the orange and lemon slices across the base of the dish and place the Salmon on top of the orange and lemon slices so the salmon fits snugly over the slices.

Then place the reserved orange and lemon slices on top of the salmon pieces and in a medium hot oven bake for 25 - 30 minutes until the salmon is flaky. Serve with the orange and lemon slices.

Comments: The Aleppo pepper is important for flavour balance
