whole salmon

[Dave]

what do i do with it

i was going to put some
dill
parsley
thyme
carrot
potatoe
leek
onion
butter
all in the cavity
then squeeze some lemon juice over it
wrap in foil and shove it in the oven
does that sound ok or should i do something else?


a 2.9kg whole salmon £4.65p

Tell us when dinner is served and we'll be right over It sounds delicious, although how you are going to fit all those veggies in that cavity will be a miracle (it's not a turkey LOL!) Personally I'd leave them out & cook seperately but the herbs, butter & lemon would go down very nicely, and you'll end up with some lovely flavoured juices - have a tray underneath in case they leak out the foil

I did one 3 New Year's Eve's ago. I put little prawns and herb butter inside then wrapped it up in pastry (I cheated and bought the ready-made stuff) and put it in the oven. It was lovely with some baby new potaoes (with extra herb butter) and broccoli

I buy a whole salmon when they are on offer (usually at Christmas and Easter), and cut it into steaks, wrap individually, and freeze. I get around 12 steaks per fish.

So much easier, and about a quarter of the price of buying fresh salmon steaks. And I roast the tail piece with just butter and lemon - scrumptious!

I like it done on the barbeque, wrapped in tin foil, with lemon slices. I have done it in the oven also.
