Easy and quick garlic lemon butter salmon in aluminium foil.

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.

Baked Salmon with Foil is the easiest way to cook salmon in the oven.

First of all, the salmon will remain moist, juicy and flavorful.

Secondly, there is no dirty dish to clean.

It’s so easy!

This foil-wrapped Garlic Lemon Butter Salmon has become one of my favorite recipes whenever I want a quick dish for dinner.

Farmed Salmon or Wild Caught Salmon

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.

Even though farmed salmon is cheaper, there are reports about unethical farming of the dish.

For this recipe, I chose a wild-caught salmon fillet which is not too thick.

This ensures that the salmon cooks evenly in the oven.

Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce

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!

Side Dishes To Serve with Salmon

As salmon can be fishy, I like tomato-based side dishes that would help with the fishy after taste.

Below please find my favorites.

  10. I’m having the hardest time finding the instructions for this recipe, I found the ingredients but cant seem to find the rest… Am I missing something?

  11. 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?

    Reply

  12. 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.
