Title: Baked Salmon in Foil
Categories: Fish Salmon
Yield: 6 Servings
| 3 1/2 | lb | Salmon |
| 1 | | Lemon |
| | | Salt and Pepper |
| 1 | tb | Oil or Softened Butter |
Lay a piece of silver foil, large enough to wrap the salmon in a very loose
parcel, on a baking tray. If the salmon is to be served hot, grease the
foil with the butter, or use the oil if serving the salmon cold. Thinly
slice the lemon and put about half on the foil. Put the salmon on top, with
a few slices of lemon inside and lay the rest of the lemon along the top of
the salmon. Season generously and wrap loosely, making sure the edges are
securely folded together so that no steam can escape. Put into a medium
oven, Gas Mk 4,350F,180C, for 10 minutes per pound. If serving hot, take it
out of the oven and let it stand for a further 10 minutes. If serving cold,
leave the salmon in the foil for two to three hours. To serve: Unwrap the
fish and gently pull off the skin.
