Baked Salmon With Tarragon And Bacon

One of my favorite things to eat is a beautiful piece of salmon, simply prepared allowing the fish to shine on it's own. This is just such a recipe.

Pre-heat oven to 400f.

Butter one side of a large sheet of aluminum foil.

Place in a baking dish large enough to hold the salmon.

Fry the finely chopped onion in butter in a frypan until soft and golden but not brown.

Add the bacon and tarragon and cook for another two minutes.

Stir in the lemon juice and remove from heat.

Place the salmon fillets on the foil in the baking dish.

Cover each fillet with some of the onion / bacon mixture and drizzle any pan juices over as well.

Fold the foil over the fish and seal to make a parcel.

Bake for 15-20 minutes , or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

May be served with a dollops of thick cream or creme fraiche.
