We eat a lot of salmon in our home. First of all, salmon is very accessible and secondly, it’s healthy and loaded with omega 3, a brain food which is great for little G.
This foil-wrapped Garlic Lemon Butter Salmon has become one of my favorite recipes whenever I want a quick dish for dinner.
There are many types of salmon in the market, wild caught, farmed, in different cuts. I always buy wild caught salmon if they are available. For this recipe, I chose a salmon fillet which is not too thick. This ensures that the salmon cooks evenly in the oven.
Garlic lemon butter sauce is an amazing sauce that you can make at home and it goes well with just about any protein. My version is sweetened with honey, making this salmon dish even more tantalizing. The best thing of all, the active time is 10 minutes and the oven is doing the rest!

Wrapping the salmon in parchment paper is better and healthier option. Will make this soon. Thanks for recipe

Hi lovely recipe :))
To Sharon why is the parchment paper healthier?thank you
Ellen
Hi Jane,
I think that Sharron possibly uses parchment paper due to the Alzheimers — aluminium link?

Great easy recipe!!!! My son had 4 helpings! Parchment paper really kept in the flavor and moisture. Will make this again.
Vandana
Hi, can I use frypan instead of oven?? No oven at home!
Rasa Malaysia
Yes you can!
Lindsay
Should I adjust the cooking time for frozen salmon or thaw it first? Also, do you think fresh, uncooked asparagus and brussel sprouts would cook perfectly in the same foil, in the same time? I’m about to make this.
Heather Brody
If I just want to prep this to make later tonight can I wrap it in the foil and let it set in the fridge until I am ready to bake it?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes, totally! But bear in mind that the moisture content in the salmon might seep out and make the salmon more watery after baking. :)
