Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 4-pound whole salmon with head and tail, scaled
6 green onions, chopped
5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine
10 whole black peppercorns
Paper-thin cucumber slices
Lemon wedges
Fresh dill sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Stack 2 heavy-duty foil sheets on large baking sheet. Place fish on foil. Sprinkle half of green onions and 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice inside fish. Drizzle remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice over fish. Drizzle oil over. Pour wine over; sprinkle with peppercorns. Sprinkle remaining green onions around fish. Bring up foil around fish, sealing tightly but leaving airspace between fish and foil. Bake fish 1 hour. Remove from oven. Open foil and let fish cool 1 hour. Reseal foil and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
  • Open foil. Carefully remove skin from fish. Scrape off any grayish flesh. Transfer fish to platter. Garnish top of fish with cucumber slices. Surround with lemon wedges and dill sprigs.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the salmon didn't come out as flaky as I would have liked. It was still tasty, but not quite what I was hoping for.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit. The salmon is always moist and flavorful, and the skin is crispy and delicious. I love that it's also a relatively quick and easy recipe to make.

I'm not usually a big fan of salmon, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of herbs and spices was just right, and the salmon itself was cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be making this again.

This baked salmon recipe is an absolute winner! The salmon turned out perfectly moist and flaky, with a crispy skin that added an extra layer of flavor. My family loved it and it's definitely going into my regular dinner rotation.
