Ingredients:
- 1 whole salmon, about 4 lbs., cleaned
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 4-5 sprigs parsley
- 1 tsp. dried thyme (or 5 sprigs fresh thyme)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Rinse the salmon inside out and pat it dry. Sprinkle the inside of the salmon
with salt and pepper, and stuff it with half of the onion, half of the lemon,
and all of the parsley. Tear off a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to
wrap the salmon. Place the salmon on the foil and sprinkle with salt, pepper,
and thyme. Rub with olive oil. Scatter the remaining onion and lemon slices
on top and seal foil tightly. Place on a cookie sheet and bake 40-45 minutes.
Cool in the foil on a rack. Remove onion and lemon; skin if desired. Serve
at room temperature.
