EASY SALMON AND POTATO FOIL PACKETS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F. To a 12-inch long sheet of foil (I use Reynold's Heavy Duty Non-Stick), add half the potato slices in a pile in the center of foil. Slightly fan out the potatoes so air can circulate. Make sure potatoes are sliced very thin so they cook through in the same amount of time it takes the salmon to cook. Evenly drizzle the potatoes with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and repeat process with another sheet of foil and the remaining potato slices. Top each pile of potatoes with 1 salmon filet. Evenly drizzle each salmon filet with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Squeeze half the juice of the orange over one salmon filet and half the juice over the other filet. Squeeze half the juice of the lemon over one salmon filet and half the juice over the other filet. Season each salmon filet with salt and pepper. Seal foil packets, making sure to tightly crimp the seams so the olive oil and citrus juices don't leak. Place packets on baking sheet and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Carefully open one packet to check for doneness of both salmon and potatoes and if necessary, return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until done.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh salmon fillets. Frozen salmon will also work, but it should be thawed completely before cooking.
- Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Don't overcrowd the foil packets. The salmon and potatoes should be able to cook evenly without steaming.
- Fold the foil packets tightly to prevent the juices from escaping. You can use a double layer of foil for extra protection.
- Cook the foil packets over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
- Be careful when opening the foil packets, as the steam can be very hot.

Salmon and potato foil packets are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a healthy and delicious way to enjoy salmon and potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
