BAKED SALMON WITH TARRAGON AND BACON

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
• Butter (or spray with non-stick spray) one side of a large sheet of aluminum foil (double the size needed to hold the salmon fillets in one layer); place in a baking dish (butter side up) large enough to hold the salmon (again, in one layer).
• Fry the finely chopped onion in butter in a frypan until soft and golden but not brown.
• Add the bacon and tarragon and cook for another two minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and remove from heat.
• Place the salmon fillets on the foil in the baking dish.
• Cover each fillet with some of the onion/bacon mixture and drizzle any pan juices over as well.
• Fold the foil over the fish and seal to make a parcel.
