  Spoon measures are American spoons, that is standard cook's measuring spoons used in USA.
  The best plan is to regard 2 American teaspoons or tablespoons as 1 English teaspoon or tablespoon (eating spoons)

It's an easy, quick and light recipe. You can make an impression serving it during an important dinner because it's very tasty.
Put 4 tablespoons olive oil, red wine, bay leaves, juniper berries and onions in a deep pan. Add the salmon with its skin below, season to taste with salt and cook, half-covered, on low heat until the fish is tender.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Oil a pan with the remaining olive oil. Put the salmon into the pan. Let the cooking juice retire. If it is too fluid, add some cornstarch. Spoon the sauce on the salmon surface and bake for some minutes. Serve hot.

Note
You can serve the fish with mashed potatoes or peas.

What's the right wine?
Our suggestion is: the same wine with which you've cooked the fish (such as Rosso Piceno - red wine from marches - Italy).
