Salmon
(Raquel - raque2000)
I make
a dill butter as follows:
about
2/3 of a stick of butter (sometimes more, depends how large
is the fish),
juice of one very juicy lemon or lime or two if it's not too
juicy,
about 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh baby dill,
2 cloves of garlic (smashed),
cracked black pepper to taste,
salt.
Melt it
for a few seconds in the microwave, you want it soft but not
cooked, so go slowly. I get 2 long salmon filets, rub it on
the meat side of both and close them like a whole fish, put
a little bit of the butter on top, a couple of sprigs of fresh
dill and some lemon or lime slices. Cover it with aluminum
foil and bake it at 400 until done (I'm sorry, I never kept
track of how long, keep checking it after about half an hour).
When it's almost done, I remove the foil paper and let it
brown just for looks. It's always tender, juicy, very yummy!
