February 15, 2008  |  recipes

While this recipe calls for a whole salmon fillet, it can easily be prepared in smaller quantities and using other firm, medium flavored fish: simply adjust the cooking time to suit the fish. This would be delicious with Herbed Couscous. Recipe By: Cooking Light Serving Size: 10 3 1/2 pounds salmon fillet ; whole 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons lemon rind ; grated 1 tablespoon orange rind ; grated 10 whole fresh chives 4 whole fresh thyme 4 whole fresh oregano 4 whole fresh tarragon 10 whole lemon slices ; thinly sliced Preheat oven to 450*. Line a shallow roasting pan with foil, spray foil with cooking spray. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper, combine rinds and sprinkle over fish. Arrange herbs horizontally across fish. Top herbs with lemon slices. Place fish on prepared pan; cover with foil and seal. Bake for 30 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve warm or at room temp. Serving size 4 oz.
