Heat oven to 200c/fan 180c/gas 6. Sit one of the fillets from a 2kg salmon, skin-side down, on a large sheet of foil or baking parchment.

Tie in 2-3 places with string to secure, splash with white wine and fold up to seal.

Put on a baking tray and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour until the salmon is cooked through – check by poking a knife into the fillets and making sure the flesh flakes easily.
