BAKED SALMON IN A FOIL PACKET



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.

Provided by Trish - Mom On Timeout

Categories     Dinner     Entree     Main Course     Main Dish

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds salmon filets (about 1 pound each, pin bones removed, with skin on or off)
⅓ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
5 tablespoons salted butter (melted)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about ½ large lemon)
1 ½ tablespoons dijon mustard
1 ¼ teaspoons garlic powder
¾ teaspoons onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 lemons (sliced)
fresh parsley (chopped)

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.

SALMON FILLETS BAKED IN FOIL



Salmon Fillets Baked in Foil image

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!

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 fillets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 salmon fillets
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
garlic powder
black pepper

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farm-raised salmon, as it is often lower in quality and nutrients.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a higher smoke point and a more flavorful taste.
  • Season the salmon well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon pepper to flavor the salmon.
  • Wrap the salmon tightly in foil. This will help to keep the salmon moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Bake the salmon at a high temperature. This will help to sear the salmon and prevent it from becoming overcooked.
  • Let the salmon rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the salmon, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Baked salmon in foil is a healthy and delicious meal that is easy to prepare. By following these tips, you can ensure that your salmon turns out perfect every time. Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
