Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of fresh salmon I used a 2.34-pound salmon filet
  • 4-6 ripe peaches
  • 3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 3-4 sprigs of fresh oregano
  • 2 tbsp rendered bacon drippings or canola oil
  • 1/3 cup of light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp or 1 tbsp of smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black peppercorns or regular black pepper works

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Remove the salmon filet from the package and pat it dry using paper towels. I like to place paper towels on a cutting board, lay the salmon on top, put more paper towels on top, and gently press down on the paper towel to absorb as much moisture as possible. Let the salmon sit on the countertop until you are ready to place it on the baking sheet.
  • Place the whole peaches in a stockpot and fill until the peaches are covered with water. Place the pot over medium heat and cook for 15-20 minutes. Remove the pot from the oven and gently spoon the pieces into a bowl of cold water.
  • When the peaches are cool enough to safely handle, use the edge of a spoon or knife to make a small cut and peel away the skin. Cut the peaches in half. After removing the pit, cut the half slices in half again. Set the peaches aside.
  • Thoroughly mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, sea salt, and freshly ground black peppercorns in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Place a length of parchment paper or aluminum foil onto a 15" x 10" baking sheet, and brush the apartment or foil with 2 tbsps of rendered bacon drippings or canola oil or olive oil.
  • Place the salmon on top of the parchment paper and top with the salmon, sprinkle half of the mixture on top of the salmon, and arrange the peach slices over the salmon and along the sides. Top the peaches with the remaining brown sugar seasoning.
  • Add the fresh sprigs of thyme and oregano on top of the salmon and place the salmon into the preheated oven, and cook for 30-35 or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145° F.
  • Serve.
