About
This simple salmon recipe is a dinnertime trifecta; healthy, filling, and quick. And one more thing: it’s easy to clean up as all the ingredients cook inside aluminum foil (hence the name). Fresh lemon juice and fresh dill brighten up the flavor profile, while butter and garlic give the salmon a comforting richness. Serve this Easy Lemon Salmon in Foil alongside a side salad or wild rice for a well-rounded meal.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- kosher salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 pounds salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons dill, optional, chopped, for garnish
Directions
Step 1 -Set the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
Step 2 -Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil.
Step 3 -In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, the lemon zest, the lemon juice, the garlic, 1 teaspoon of the dill, the salt, and the pepper.
Step 4 -Place the salmon over the aluminum foil on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up.
Step 5 -Fold up all four sides of the aluminum foil. Drizzle the butter mixture over the salmon, then seal the foil packet closed.
Step 6 -Bake in the oven until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven, garnish with the remaining dill, and serve.
