List of Ingredients

* 3/4 cup dry white wine
* 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
* 1/4 tsp dried tarragon
* 3 green onions, minced
* 3 peppercorns
* 1/4 tsp dried thyme
* 1/2 tsp dried basil
* Celery leaves
* 2 slices lemon


* 1 (7- to 10-lb.) whole salmon


Recipe

1. Put wine and all remaining ingredients (except salmon) in a covered saucepan. Heat, without boiling, for 30 minutes.

2. Rinse salmon; pat dry. Remove the tail and lay fish lengthwise on a sheet of foil. Pour the warm herb-wine over and inside the fish. Bring foil up over the fish and seal by crimping. (Be sure no liquid can escape.)

3. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees (F) 12 to 15 minutes per pound, or about 1-1/2 hours. Do not overbake.

Can be served hot or cold.
