Question: How long would it take to cook two salmon 'steaks' wrapped in tin-foil in an oven!?
And what temperature to use!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
8-10 mins in oven no more or it will be overcooked!.

However, this is a recipe of Sophie Grigsons, which doesn't need to be baked in the oven, and is delicious!.

Salmon with Green Herb Butter!.

Cooking time 10 to 30 mins







Ingredients

For the green butter:

110g/3?oz unsalted butter, softened
small handful fresh parsley
small handful fresh chives
large handful fresh sorrel leaves (if you can't get sorrel you can use extra parsley and chives or tarragon or basil and add a squeeze or two of lemon juice)

For the salmon:

a drizzle of olive oil
2 portions salmon fillet, skin-on, about 170g/6oz each
salt and freshly ground black pepper
To serve
lemon wedges
a few sprigs of parsley and lengths of chive



Method
1!. First make the herb butter!. Place the butter in the bowl of a food processor!.
2!. Chop the herbs roughly!. You should aim for a tablespoon each of parsley and chives; there will be more of the sorrel!. Place the herbs into the bowl with the butter!. Process until the herbs are finely chopped, scraping down the bowl with a spatula once or twice if necessary!. (If you don't have a processor, chop the herbs finely, then beat into the softened butter!.)
3!. Scrape the butter onto a sheet of silver foil, pat into a sausage shape, roll up and chill in the fridge until needed!. (Herb butters can be frozen for up to a month!.)
4!. For the salmon, add the olive oil to a non-stick frying pan and carefully wipe up any excess oil with kitchen paper - you don't want a lot of oil in the pan!. When the pan's hot, add the salmon, skin-side down first, and cook for 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon, without moving it around at all!. This will ensure the skin doesn't stick to the pan!.
5!. While the salmon is cooking, remove the butter from the fridge and slice off four discs with a hot knife (using a hot knife creates a clean cut)!.
6!. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then turn the fish over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or so, until the salmon is cooked but still has a line of translucent, darker pink flesh in its centre!. This slight 'undercooking' keeps the salmon moist and tender!.
7!. To serve, lay the salmon on warm serving plates and top with a slice or two of green butter!. Tuck a lemon wedge in on the side and garnish with the parsley and chives, if you like!.

About 25 minutes at 180C or 200 if you want them crispy! Actually, I prefer to cook mine for about 90 seconds in the microwave; just add butter and sliced lemon then cover and zap, leave to stand and test if underdone zap for extra 20 -30seconds!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

about quarter of an hour on medium heat, dont rush them by turning up the heat as they will go dry, just nice and gentle for about an hour and they will crumble in your mouth and will be nice and moist toWww@FoodAQ@Com

190 degrees for 15 - 20mins!. Check after 15mins if it needs the extra 5!. Add some butter, milk and herbs for extra flavour!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
