Begin by preheating your oven to a high temperature of 500F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place it in the hot oven to preheat.
Cut the large skin-on wild salmon fillet into 4 equal pieces, and rub each piece with 1 teaspoon of the cooking fat. Evenly season all sides of the salmon pieces with ¼ to ½ teaspoons of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2 lb salmon, 2 teaspoon cooking fat, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven, and reduce the oven temperature to a gentle 275 F. Place the salmon fillets onto the baking sheet, skin side down.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for approximately 12 minutes, or until the salmon reaches a safe internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the salmon is cooking, use this time to make the relish. Begin by combining the thinly sliced scallion, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, and 1 ½ teaspoons of freshly grated ginger. Add salt and pepper to taste, starting with ¼ teaspoon of each.
1 scallion, 2 teaspoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoon olive oil, 1 ½ teaspoon fresh ginger
Then, add the clementine segments to the bowl and stir until combined.
4 clementines
Once the salmon is cooked, carefully and quickly remove it from the oven and place it on a platter. Spoon the cold clementine and ginger relish over the top of the hot roasted salmon. Season with additional sea salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed and serve immediately.

If clementines are not available or in season, you can use any orange or tangerine for this recipe.
Fresh ginger is best, but you can also substitute ginger paste which is often found in the produce area of your grocery store.
