Foil-wrapped Salmon
Foil-wrapped salmon is one of the easiest salmon recipes ever!
The active time is usually very short, takes 5-10 minutes but yields moist, juicy and delicious salmon baked in the oven.
One of the marinade I love for salmon is Chili-Lime sauce or marinade. If you have tried my Chili Lime Chicken, you will know just how amazing and mouthwatering the taste is.
However, this Chili Lime Salmon has a completely different recipe.
To make the Chili-Lime marinate or sauce, you need only a few key ingredients. I love Huy Fong brand (Rooster brand) Chili Garlic Sauce, which you can get easily now at major supermarkets and food stores.
The taste is absolutely delightful for salmon, with a nice heat (but not too spicy).
Adding honey and fresh lime juice pretty much complete the flavors for this oven-baked and foil-wrapped salmon dish.
There is no marinade time. Just spoon over the sauce, wrap up the salmon with aluminum foil and you are done!

Just tried this tonight. It was wonderful! Not too sweet, the tanginess of the line and a sublet heat from that garlic chilli. I subbed the salt with a bit of fish sauce and it worked pretty well. Salmon; moist and tender. Never had such good salmon before. Thank you for the recipe! It was so fast and easy to do.

Just wondering about any reaction from the lime juice and the tin foil. Could I use parchment paper instead? We love salmon and this looks very interesting!

Put some non stick parchment paper on the tin foil then it is still sealed in the foil but not on the foil. Not done this but think it should work Jaclee

Tried this tonight! We are not salmon fans at all but really want to try and like it as it’s so good for you ?. We really enjoyed the salmon as long as there was plenty of that delicious sauce!! The lime juice helped cut through the richness! I think I might try this marinade/sauce with something else….any ideas??
