This is a recipe I got from my mother. It's incredibly simple and easy to make. Very fast too and salmon tastes so good!
It's tough to get it wrong.
1. Preheat oven to 200c/390f. Clean and de-bone salmon filets.
2. Prep two sheets of aluminum one for each filet.
3. Drop half a teaspoon of olive oil in the center of the foil. Then place the salmon in the center skin down on top of the oil and just give it a quick move back and forth to spread the oil.
4. Salt & pepper to taste, then place the fresh herbs on top of the salmon.
5. Cut the lemon in half, then cut two thin slices from each half and place on top of the salmon. Squeeze the remaining lemon halves on each of the filets.
6. Wrap the foil tight and place in the oven for about 20 minutes.
7. Unwrap, and serve.
The great thing about this dish is that you can pretty much use any fresh herb you like. The dill, lemon thyme and sorrel are my personal preferences. My mother on the other hand always uses chervil or parsley. I know some who adds garlic, and although I like garlic, I don't really like garlic in my salmon. You can experiment for yourself and come up with a combination that suits your taste the best. Just keep in mind that some herbs don't go so well with fish, so keep that in mind.
