Whole Baked Salmon

Total Time 1 hour
Servings 10 people

Ingredients

  • 3 kg whole salmon
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • 1 small bunch dill optional
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200C (400F).
  • Wipe fish dry then score the fish on both sides (best to watch the video for this).
  • Drizzle with olive oil and season well with sea salt & pepper, rubbing salt into each cut.
  • Place fish diagonally on your largest baking tray. Let the tail end overhang more than the head.
  • Holding the tail curving up and over the body of the fish, ease the fish into the oven tail end first (again video is much better than words).
  • Bake for 30-45 minutes or until the fish is cooked when you look down each score mark to the bone.
  • Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
