Baked Salmon in a Foil Packet image

Baking salmon in a foil packet it a very healthy way of preparing fish, because you don't need to use any fat for the baking process. I season the salmon with an exotic mix of marjoram, lemon, and star anise, but you could use the same method with different herbs and spices.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

olive oil
2 medium onions, halved and sliced
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 lemons, sliced
5 pods whole star anise pods
⅓ cup water
aluminum foil
1 (1 1/2-pound) salmon fillet

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook onions until soft and browned, about 10 minutes. Season with marjoram and a little salt. Remove from heat.
  • Place lemon slices in a single layer in a clean skillet over high heat and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes. Add star anise and water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
  • Cover a baking pan large enough to hold the salmon with sheets of aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. Lay onions in a single layer on the bottom; place salmon fillet on top, skin-side down. Rub fillet with salt and pepper. Cover with lemon slices and star anise. Fold up the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet, making sure to seal the edges well.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, open foil carefully, and serve.

This recipe was a total fail. The salmon was dry and the vegetables were mushy.
