slow-roasted whole salmon

slow-roasted whole salmon
  • 1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 (3 pound) whole salmon, or more to taste
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon dried tarragon
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill weed
  • 3 bay leaves


  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  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.
  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.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 2 1/2 hours.
  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.
