1 (6-7 lb.) whole salmon
4 tbsp. melted butter
1 tsp. salt
Pinch of pepper
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 c. white wine
1/2 c. water

Cut a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap around the salmon. Brush the foil generously with butter. Brush both sides of the salmon with butter. Sprinkle fish with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

Wrap the salmon in foil and place in a roasting tin or on a baking sheet. Allow 10 minutes per pound and 10 minutes extra. Pour combined wine and water over the fish after 20 minutes. (This will prevent the fish from drying out.) Remove from oven.
