1 (3 pound) whole salmon

thinly sliced

1 tablespoon dried tarragon

1 tablespoon dried dill weed

3 bay leaves

Main Dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

Step 2

Spread out a long piece of aluminum foil long enough to wrap the fish completely. Rub generously with a few pieces of butter. Place fish on top and spread onion slices in a thin layer inside the cavity of the fish. Arrange the remaining butter on top of the onion.

Step 3

Distribute tarragon dill and bay leaves over the salmon. Wrap aluminum foil around the fish loosely but securely folding seams together so that juices do not leak. Place packet on a large baking pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork about 2 1/2 hours.

Step 5

Remove salmon from oven and let cool in the aluminum foil at least 15 minutes. Gently tear the packet away from the bottom of the fish and transfer fish to a platter. Peel skin off gently using a fork.
