Olive oil, for the foil
Four 5- to 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill and/or parsley
Half a lemon

  • Remove the fillets from the oven, top each with a piece of butter and let melt over the top and down the sides. Sprinkle with herbs, lemon juice and salt to taste. Transfer the salmon to serving plates with a spatula. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Create a refreshingly aromatic centrepiece with Gordon Ramsay's easy way of cooking salmon

Provided by Gordon Ramsay

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

whole salmon (about 2kg), scaled, gutted and washed
3small lemons , thickly sliced
100ml olive oil
4-6 fresh bay leaves
few sprigs each fresh rosemary , thyme, basil, sage and parsley
2-3 lemongrass stalks, cut into large pieces
1head garlic , halved horizontally
1 tsp peppercorns , mixed or black
5-6 whole star anise

Steps:

  • Trim salmon tail and cut off the fins. Pat dry inside and out with kitchen paper. Score the skin of the fish on both sides with a sharp knife, at 2-3cm intervals. Rub all over with olive oil, salt and pepper. Lay three large pieces of foil over a large baking tray, overlapping the long edges. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5.
  • Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan, then fry lemon slices over a high heat for 2-3 mins until golden. Season; allow to cool slightly. Scatter a handful of herbs and lemongrass over foil, then sit salmon on top. Tuck caramelised lemon, herbs and garlic around and inside fish, splash over a little oil and scatter over salt, peppercorns and star anise.
  • Fold the foil around the fish to make a shallow tent, scrunching the edges well to seal. Cook in the centre of the oven for 30-35 mins, depending on the thickness of the salmon. Remove from the oven and rest the fish for at least 10 mins, still wrapped in foil.
  • Unwrap the fish and gently peel away the skin using a cutlery knife and discard. Use the handle of a spoon to scrape off any brown flesh on top of the pink flesh, then push the spoon head into the groove that runs along the length of the fillet, easing the flesh into two long strips. Push the spoon into the flesh where it joins the backbone, lifting it off the bone. Break the fish on the first side into 4 portions and lift onto serving plates. When the top half is served, pull off the backbone and head and serve the rest. Drain the juices into a small jug. Serve with caramelised lemons and a drizzle of the juices.

Salmon With Lemon-Herb Marinade image

Here's one of the easiest ways to entertain: broil or grill a large salmon fillet, then adorn it with lemon wedges and rosemary sprigs. This recipe marinates the rich salmon in lemon juice, soy sauce and herbs. Serve it with a sharply flavored potato salad (like this one, with red Bliss potatoes and watercress in a yogurt-horseradish dressing) and a large bowl of greens.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Opt for a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet with vibrant color and a mild, fresh scent.
  • Properly prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon dry before cooking to ensure crispy skin and even cooking.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and parsley add a burst of flavor to the salmon. If using dried herbs, reduce the amount by half.
  • Generously season the salmon: Season the salmon with salt and pepper, and other spices like garlic powder and paprika, to enhance its natural flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Place the salmon fillets in a single layer in the baking dish to ensure even cooking and crispy skin.
  • Bake at high temperature: Bake the salmon at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) to achieve crispy skin and a tender, flaky interior.
  • Monitor the cooking time: Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare salmon or 155°F (68°C) for medium-well salmon.
  • Let the salmon rest: After baking, let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and moist fish.

Conclusion:

Herb-baked salmon with lemon is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its crispy skin, tender flesh, and zesty lemon flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique flavor combinations and enjoy this healthy and flavorful meal!
