Pour about 1 to 1.5 cups of olive oil over the salmon, ensuring it is well coated.

Cover the salmon with olive oil but do not submerge it completely in oil.

Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, checking for doneness after 12 minutes.

Prepare a cucumber salad by cutting and smashing cucumbers, seasoning them, and letting them sit to release liquid.

Make a garlic oil by toasting garlic with turmeric, then mix it with the cucumbers.

Add white distilled vinegar, scallions, dill, and chili flakes to the salad.
