Easy to cook, baked salmon makes a healthy meal at any time of day.
Baked Salmon can quickly and easily be prepared ahead of time.
Why not prepare the salmon before going to work. What could be easier than coming home and popping the salmon straight in the oven?
Simple, nutritious and delicious.
There are two main ways to bake salmon.
In foil or greasproof paper (chefs call this 'en papillote'). Cut a piece of aluminum foil and/or greaseproof paper, brush with melted butter and place the salmon (or indeed any seafood) on the foil with some flavourings such as vegetables, flavoured butter or wine and seal the foil to keep in the heat and moisture thus helping the fish to stay succulent. The salmon then cooks in it's own mini oven.
In a casserole dish or roasting tray with vegetables and some liquid such as white wine to keep the fish moist. This method is particularly suitable for whole salmon and other types of whole fish such as Bass or Salmon Trout.
