Baked Salmon In Foil
This recipe is a very easy to prepare.
3 1/2 lb salmon
1 lemon
1 salt and pepper
1 tablespoon oil or softened butter
Directions:
Lay a piece of silver foil, large enough to wrap the salmon in a very loose parcel, on a baking tray. Thinly slice the lemon and put about half on the foil. Put the
salmon on top, with a few slices of lemon inside and lay the rest of the lemon along the top of the salmon. Season generously and wrap loosely, making sure the edges are securely folded together so that no steam can escape. Put into a medium oven (350F) for 10 minutes per pound. To serve: Unwrap the fish and
gently pull off the skin.

More Info about Salmon
Salmon is the common name for several species of fish of the family Salmonidae. Several other fish in the family are called trout; the difference is often said to be that salmon migrate and trout are resident, a distinction that holds true for the Salmo genus. Salmon live in both the Atlantic (one migratory species Salmo salar) and Pacific Oceans, as well as the Great Lakes (approximately a dozen species of the genus Oncorhynchus).
Typically, salmon are anadromous: they are born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce. However, there are rare species that can only survive in fresh water. Folklore has it that the fish return to the exact spot where they were born to spawn; tracking studies have shown this to be true but the nature of how this memory works has long been debated.
