This next recipe is great when cooking fish for the entire family, or taking to a pot-luck party. It is always popular and there are no leftovers to take home or pack away. The real secret to the success of this dish is using a fresh (not previously frozen) large tray-sized fillet of salmon. At “bring a dish” events everyone raves over it. You might even get the award for best dish! Due to the expense of buying fresh fish, we make this recipe with farm-raised salmon. If you have the money, then splurge on an Alaskan wild-caught “melt in your mouth” fillet. This recipe can be found in the original Trim Healthy Mama book, on page 320 of the Evening Meals chapter under the section called “Hearty Oven Dishes”.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Place salmon fillet on large piece of foil and rub down with sea salt, black pepper, and optional onion and garlic powder. Sprinkle generously with dried dill and a few optional capers.
-
Slice thin pats of butter and lemon slices and arrange over fillet.
-
Generously drizzle with red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
-
Wrap fish tightly in the foil. This makes a pouch for the salmon to steam in the vinegar. If using a frozen fillet, you could thinly slice a whole large onion and layer this on top of the salmon to keep the texture super moist.
-
Bake at 350 until fish flakes perfectly, about 25–30 minutes.
Note
From page 320 of the original Trim Healthy Mama book:
Serene Chats: "I make a wild-caught frozen variety regularly for my family as an evening meal. It is still divine although not as incredibly sublime."
