How do I bake or roast a fresh whole salmon to perfection?

Baking a whole salmon on the bone locks in natural juices, yielding extraordinarily succulent meat:

The Prep: Pat the skin completely dry. Cut 3 to 4 deep diagonal slashes across the thickest parts of the skin on both sides. Rub generously with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.

The Flavors: Stuff the belly cavity with fresh dill, lemon slices, crushed garlic cloves, and fresh herbs.

The Oven Bake: Wrap loosely in baking foil and roast in a preheated oven at 180°C for 35–40 minutes. Unwrap for the final 8 minutes to get that golden skin.
What is the portion yield and value of a 2.5kg – 3kg whole salmon?

Generous Feast Yield: A whole salmon in the 2.5kg to 3kg range provides an abundance of rich protein, easily yielding 10 to 12 generous main course portions.

Maximum Culinary Flexibility: Buying whole gives you total freedom to slice thick center-cut steaks, fillet two whole sides, or bake the fish whole for a grand centerpiece presentation.
