Baked Salmon In Foil

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

3 1/2 lb salmon
1 lemon
1 salt and pepper
1 tablespoon oil or softened butter

RECIPE METHOD

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 he oil if serving the salmon cold. Thinly slice the lemon and put about half on the oil. Put the salmon on top, with a few slices of lemon inside and lay the rest of the emon along the top of the salmon. Season generously and wrap loosely, making sure the dges 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.
