Baked Salmon In Foil

1. 1

   Lay a piece of silver foil, large enough to wrap the salmon in a very loose parcel, on a baking tray.

2. 2

   If the salmon is to be served hot, grease the foil with the butter, or use the oil if serving the salmon cold.

3. 3

   Thinly slice the lemon and put about half on the foil.

4. 4

   Put the salmon on top, with a few slices of lemon inside with onions, if using, and lay the rest of the lemon along the top of the salmon.

5. 5

   Season generously and wrap loosely, making sure the edges are securely folded together so that no steam can escape.

6. 6

   Put into a medium oven, 450F (180C), for 10 minutes per pound.

7. 7

   If serving hot, take it out of the oven and let it stand for a further 10 minutes.

8. 8

   If serving cold, leave the salmon in the foil for two to three hours.

9. 9

   To serve: Unwrap the fish and gently pull off the skin.
