SALMON WITH THYME, LEMON BUTTER AND ALMONDS
Even seasoned cooks can be anxious about cooking fish, but nothing could be simpler than oiling a large piece of foil, setting the fish on it and then pressing a few scallions and some thyme into the cavity. Wrap it all into a tightly sealed parcel, put it on a baking sheet and roast it. In truth, any fish can be cooked like this, and you can play around with the herbs, depending on what is available. This is a very good-natured recipe.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lay out a double layer of foil big enough to wrap fish in, and drizzle with oil. Place fish on foil. Put scallions and half the thyme in cavity of fish. Drizzle 2 tablespoons butter over fish, and sprinkle with salt to taste. Wrap fish loosely, place on a baking sheet and bake 35 minutes.
- Place a small skillet over medium heat. When pan is hot, add almonds, and stir until golden brown. Remove from pan, and set aside. In a small bowl, combine remaining melted butter and lemon juice; set aside.
- When fish is cooked, carefully peel skin from side facing you. With a knife, divide fish in three portions by making two long cuts parallel to each other and perpendicular to the backbone. Cut down to the rib bones, but do not cut through them. Remove a portion of meat by sliding a spatula over rib bones and pulling meat away; repeat with 2 remaining portions, and place on three warmed plates. Remove backbone and attached rib bones. Cut three more fillets from remaining fish, placing them on plates.
- Drizzle lemon butter over each fillet, and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Pull leaves from remaining sprigs of thyme, and scatter over fillets. Serve immediately.

SLOW-BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON AND THYME
Baking salmon in a low-temperature oven slowly melts the fat between the flesh and leaves the fillets incredibly moist and tender. Lemon and thyme, a classic Mediterranean combination, add another layer of flavor without sacrificing this dish's elegant simplicity.

Tips:
- To ensure your salmon is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, or 165°F (74°C) for medium.
- If you don't have thyme on hand, you can substitute another fresh herb like rosemary or oregano.
- To make the lemon butter sauce extra rich and flavorful, use unsalted butter and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- For a crunchier topping, toast the almonds in a skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- To add a pop of color and freshness, garnish the salmon with chopped parsley or chives before serving.
