Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small whole salmon, approximately 2 1/2 pounds
4 spring onions (scallions)
6 sprigs fresh tarragon
12 sprigs fresh parsley
1 lemon
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, approximately
1/2 cup dry white wine (more if needed)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Split salmon lengthwise, and lay one half on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Split the spring onions lengthwise. Place the onions, tarragon and parsley on the salmon. Top with other half of the fish.
  • Slice lemon thinly and lay slices over top of salmon. Dot with butter. Sprinkle with white wine. Wrap foil loosely around the salmon, sealing the package tightly by folding over several times; this prevents steam from escaping.
  • Place salmon packet on a cookie sheet and bake 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool, but do not open packet until ready to serve or to use.

I didn't have any fresh herbs on hand, so I used dried herbs instead. The salmon still turned out delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salmon came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra herbs and spices to the salmon and it turned out much better.
