Challenge 44 - Towel Day: So long, and thanks...

... For all the fish. Baked salmon.

Ingredients
2 salmon fillets
A couple of sprigs of fresh herbs (having no dill or fennel, I used lemon thyme)
Olive oil
Lemon juice
salt and pepper

Equipment
Oven
Kitchen foil (or, if it turns out when you start cooking that there's only 6" left, greaseproof paper and a stapler)
Roasting pan or similar

Method
Preheat oven to 200degC. Lay the foil in the roasting pan and put the salmon fillets on top. Lay the herbs over the top, season with salt and pepper and drizzle a little olive oil and lemon juice over. Fold the foil up into a parcel and cook in the oven for about 15 minutes.

I served it with rice and steamed runner beans.

Oh god, that sounds so yum. I love salmon but my husband doesn't like it so I don't cook it that often.

It's really tasty, and dead easy.

Can confirm that this also works with trout fillets, I did it the other week.
