Any advice for cooking a whole salmon?

It's about 3ft long! Could I stuff it? My dad said he's seen chefs covering fish in loads of garlic and salts and herbs etc. I've seen them stuffed with cous cous.Any advice for cooking a whole salmon?
Baked Herb Stuffed Salmon


Recipe Jamie Oliver 2002











Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper


Extra-virgin olive oil


2 medium salmon fillets, about 2 1/2 pounds (1.1 kilograms) skin on, scaled and pinboned


2 lemons


Bunch fresh marjoram


Bunch fresh dill


Bunch fresh basil


Handful stoned black olives


Bunch flat-leaf parsley





Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C/gas 6).


Cut 5 lengths of string and lay them out on the work surface next to each another, leaving gaps in between. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the work surface, and drizzle with olive oil. Lay 1 salmon fillet, skin side down, on top. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the salmon, then, using a fine grater, grate the zest of 1 lemon over the top. On top of that lay the marjoram, dill, and basil, broken up, and the olives.


Season the flesh side of the other salmon fillet with salt and pepper, and grate over the second lemon. Place 1 fillet on top of the other, thin end to thick, then tie them together and trim the string. Put the fish parcel on an oiled baking tray, and scatter over any remaining bits of herb. Thinly slice the 2 lemons and place on top of and round the salmon. Drizzle with olive oil, then roughly chop the parsley and sprinkle over the top.


Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.





AWESOME!Any advice for cooking a whole salmon?
Place in a large sheet of heavey duty foil, use dill, fennels, garlic, chopped tomato, red peppers. Chop then small, season, use olive oil. Bake at 350, for at least 45min. Mangia, please can I come over, I'll behave!
I love that Jamie Oliver recipe. I also love salmon baked in a tinfoil envelope with a bit of butter, lemon and dill inside the cavity and put on the bbq for about 25 min with medium coals. Not to hot or the fish cooks way too fast.


Cheers!
EASY BAKED SALMON





1 salmon fillet or steak


1/2 to 1/3 c. half %26amp; half or milk


1/2 tsp. minced fresh dill, chopped chives or basil


Salt (opt.)





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place salmon in shallow baking dish and add half and half or milk so fish is half immersed. Sprinkle with dill, chives or basil and salt if desired. Bake 30 minutes, occasionally spooning liquid over salmon. Fish is done when mostly pale pink in center.





Note a 3' salmon wouldn't fit in a domestic oven


I would suggest cutting it in half and carefully put it back together when you serve, if you have a platter large enough.
