BAKED SALMON WITH HERBS

1 1/4 lb. salmon filet
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp. combination of chopped fresh herbs-dill, chives, chervil, basil, sage (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Garnish (optional)
Cucumbers slices, parsley, dill or watercress

Place salmon on foil; measure thickness at thickest part. Sprinkle parsley and herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.

Mix water with lemon juice and sprinkle over salmon. Fold foil over and seal. Place wrapped salmon on baking sheet.

Bake in 450 degree F oven for 10 minutes for every 1-inch thickness of fish, plus an additional 10 minutes cooking time because it's wrapped in foil, or until salmon is opaque.

Unwrap salmon place it on warmed platter. Garnish with cucumber, parsley, dill or watercress (if using). Alternatively, arrange cooked vegetables on platter with salmon. Serve warm with lemon wedges.

TO SERVE COLD:
While salmon is still warm, scrape off any dark fat. Brush salmon lightly with oil and cover with foil. Refrigerate until serving time.
