Whole Roasted Salmon Wrapped in Herbs and Newspaper

Ingredients

1x1.5kg/3�lb whole salmon, scaled and gutted
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large handfuls of mixed fresh herbs (parsley, fennel tops, basil)
a copy of a newspaper
2 lemons, thinly sliced
6 spring onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp fennel seeds, cracked

Method

1. Get yourself a nice fresh salmon, season inside and out, rub with olive oil and stuff with half the herbs. Open your paper out to the middle page and place your salmon in the centre. Scatter over your lemons, spring onions, fennel seeds and remaining herbs. Tuck some of these underneath and over the salmon.
2. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil, tuck in the sides of the paper and fold to wrap up tightly, securing it well with lots of string. Wet the paper really well under the tap and either place directly on a shelf at the top of your oven, preheated to 220C/425F/Gas 7, for 35 minutes, or preferably cook on your barbie or on a rack over a camp fire for about 25 minutes on each side depending on the intensity of the heat.

Salmon is a good fish for this recipe because it s still quite fatty, so whether it s still a bit pink or slightly overdone it s still very acceptable. I still like it slightly pink, served with some boiled potatoes, green salad and homemade mayonnaise - fantastic.
