How to prepare a whole salmon - Step by step - Recipes.
The salmon can either be cold smoked or hot smoked, each giving the fish a very different appearance and texture. When the salmon is cold smoked, its appearance and texture are very similar as to when it is raw. When it is hot smoked, there is heat involved in the process, which cooks the fish as well as smokes it.
Place the salmon on the foil and insert the sliced onion, half sliced lemon, bay leaves and tarragon into the cavity. Place the salmon upright, underside down on the foil and position on the tray as you would like to serve it as you need to move as little as possible when baked to ensure perfect presentation.
Salmon; Whole salmon; Whole salmon baked in foil 1 hour. I like to slowly cook a fresh whole salmon or salmon trout in a foil packet with some white wine, butter and parsley.. Also works great for getting ahead if you're having a buffet and need a whole poached salmon that you want to serve cold.
FAB FISH: Cucumber 'scales' make for a dramatic presentation. This simple whole fish recipe is a show-stopper. Just match the fragrant salmon and rice with a simple salad to feed a crowd easily.

Poached whole salmon - what a classic. Due to there being just one domestic size cooker at Conway Hall for 70 people whole dressed salmon and truffle potatoes en papilotte couldn't have been better. Normally for a buffet you might do one.
Take a whole salmon, place it in a fish poacher, cover it with simmering fish stock or court bouillon, and poach for 35 minutes. When done, remove it from the court bouillon, allow it to cool to room temperature and “glue” on the cucumber scales with a dill-horseradish sauce.
