Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place each salmon filet on a large sheet (large enough to enclose each salmon) of heavy-duty aluminum foil to bring to room temperature before baking.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, lemon juice, dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and dried thyme. Whisk together until completely combined.
- Pour the liquid mixture evenly over both salmon filets and top with lemon slices. Fold the edges of the aluminum foil to enclose each piece of salmon. If you need to, use another foil to wrap the salmon.
- Place the salmon on a sheet pan before baking in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the salmon is 145°F at its thickest part. (Salmon that is thicker or larger will take longer to cook.) 145°F is for well done salmon. For medium to medium-rare salmon, you would want between 125˚F and 135˚F.
- Remove from heat and let rest for five minutes.
- Garnish with fresh minced parsley, optional, and then plate and serve.
BAKED SALMON IN FOIL
A delicious recipe for salmon in foil - I bought a really large piece of wild salmon and made this when we had guests. Very little prep and the fish came out wonderfully.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Combine 1/2 cup olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Place a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Place salmon in the middle of the foil, skin-side down. Drizzle with olive oil mixture. Fold up the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet, making sure to seal the edges.
- Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. If your salmon fillet is very thick, it can take longer. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.

SALMON FILLETS BAKED IN FOIL
This is one of my favourite ways to cook salmon now! It's so easy and foolproof... I usually make a whole bag of frozen fillets at a time. Whatever isn't eaten right away gets crumbled up on salads or mixed into pasta later on. Yum! (Measurements are approximate because I generally just eyeball it as described.) NOTE: Prep time includes minimum marinade duration!

Steps:
- Place fillets in a glass dish large enough that they can all lie flat. Mix the water and soy sauce together (if you want it saltier, don't water the soy sauce down) and pour over the fillets. However many fillets you choose to make, just make sure the marinade comes up about halfway on each fillet.
- Dust the top of each fillet with garlic powder, then pepper them generously. It's okay to almost cover the tops with pepper, if you like.
- Marinate a minimum of two hours in the fridge, covered--I usually use frozen fillets and let them defrost in the marinade overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place each fillet on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold into a sealed packet, but before you seal it, add a couple of splashes of fresh soy sauce.
- Bake sealed packets in an uncovered glass casserole dish (for convenience) for 30-40 minutes or until salmon flakes easily when prodded with a fork.
- Unwrap and serve!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Select a baking sheet large enough to accommodate the fish.
- Lay out a long double length of heavy-duty aluminum foil on top of the baking sheet. Place the cleaned salmon in the center of the foil and add the carrot, onion, shallots, celery, thyme, salt to taste, peppercorns, garlic, bay leaf and wine. Bring up the edges of the foil and seal as compactly and tightly as possible.
- Place the fish in the oven and bake 50 minutes to one hour. At the end of 50 minutes, loosen the foil and test for doneness. The fish is cooked when the back center fin can be easily removed when pulled with the fingers. Remove from the oven.

SALMON BAKED IN FOIL
Another winner from Giada and Everyday Italian. I recently got hooked on the whole foil cooking method for fish and have been scouring the internet to add more of these to my arsenal of delicious, moist and super tasty fish recipes. Here's a true winner! Super healthy, super moist, super delicious. We love it. Even my 2 and 4 year old. I HIGHLY recommend you use fresh tomatoes in this recipe rather than the optional canned. MUCH better flavor. NOTE: I USE THIN FILLETS AND WOULD ONLY COOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES IF USING THIN FILLETS.
