Good Friday 2020

Traditionally for Good Friday we are either celebrating with friends at home or in Sydney for the Royal Easter Show.  Sadly, due to Covid-19, neither of these options were available.  One thing still remained and that involved a delicious seafood lunch but just with Dad, Mum and my older brother, Benjamin. The food was plentiful and involved making a video for Robson House after an Instagram challenge to show what everyone was up to in the kitchen or in their firepits.

Generally, at Christmas we enjoy a whole salmon baked in the oven so we decided to do this for Easter this year.  The smallest whole salmon that Mum and I could purchase was 3.6kgs so it lasted several days.  The oven was pre-heated at 180 degrees Celsius and we placed him diagonally on a baking tray on top of copious amounts of greased foil.  Then Benjamin and I did six cuts, two centimetres deep, on both sides of the fish before filling with butter and garlic and seasoning.  The fish was wrapped in the foil before baking for 1 hour and 20 minutes.  Served with a potato bake and green salad it was a delicious Good Friday lunch, albeit a little bit different this year.
