• 2 dozen stems of cilantro for every pound of salmon, diced very fine
• 1 dozen almonds diced & crushed for every pound of salmon
• mix chardonnay, almonds & cilantro with half ounce of olive oil (or melted butter as preferred)

trim 2 sheets of baking foil allowing 8" overlap in length and wrap
layout fillets (butterfly or matched)
apply seasoning evenly to one fillet 
transfer to foil, wrap and crimp seal
place in baking pot or tray
place in pre-heated oven at 325

additional time may be needed depending on the girth of the fish
