ROASTED SALMON HEAD

Steps:

• Cut salmon head in half like pictured in the post. Remove gills and wash it.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place parchemnt paper or foil in the roastin pan. Place salmon head on top. Put salt and pepper to your taste. In fact you can add any spices. I like to keep it simple.
• Place in the oven for about 15 minutes. If heads are very big you may need more time to cook them all the way.

OVEN-ROASTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Brush a rimmed baking sheet with butter. Brush salmon with butter and season with salt and pepper. Place salmon on prepared baking sheet, skin-side up. Transfer baking sheet to oven and roast until a metal skewer can be easily inserted into fish and, when left in for 5 seconds, feels just warm when touched to your lip, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove fish from skillet and serve immediately.

ROASTED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Sit one of the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on a large sheet of foil or baking parchment. Scatter with the lemon slices, herbs, shallots and seasoning, then sit the second fillet on top - skin-side up. Tie in 2-3 places with string to secure, splash with wine and fold up the foil or paper to seal. Can be chilled for up to 3 hrs.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake for 50 mins-1 hr until the salmon is cooked through - check by poking a knife into the fillets and making sure the flesh flakes easily. Serve in foil or paper on a serving plate, or carefully lift out using a couple of fish slices. Slice into portions and serve with the Lemon & chive mayonnaise and New potatoes 'Lyonnaise' (see 'Goes well with' recipes) and half-steamed broccoli (see below).
