Lemon Dill Salmon

   This is a simple and fresh way to prepare salmon, our friend Joanna from Ireland evolved it and added her special spice "Dill Salt" .  Sealing the fish in foil allows it to cook in it's own juices.  Don't limit your self to the oven with this, try it on the grill on a hot summer night.

• 1 1/2 lb salmon fillet
• pepper to taste
• 3 tbsp Dill Salt
• 5 lemon slices
• 2 green onions, chopped (optional)
• 2 cloves of garlic (optional)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray two large pieces of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Place salmon fillet on top of a piece of foil. Sprinkle salmon with Dill Salt, and lightly rub into fish. Arrange lemon slices on top of fillet. Sprinkle fillet with chopped green onions. Cover salmon with second piece of foil and pinch together foil to tightly seal. Place on a baking sheet or in a large baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily.  4 servings.

This preparation also works well with Barramundi from Australis.
