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.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more seasoning to the salmon.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salmon came out dry and overcooked. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salmon came out undercooked. I had to put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes.

This baked salmon recipe is a keeper! The salmon came out perfectly cooked - flaky and moist on the inside, with a crispy skin on the outside. The lemon-herb butter sauce was the perfect complement to the salmon, adding a bright and flavorful touch.
