Description

This baked salmon in foil is made with a large fillet of salmon seasoned with herbs, lemon, and brown sugar, wrapped in a foil packet, then baked.

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
5 cloves cloves garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
aluminum foil
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 (3 pound) salmon fillet
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, sliced

Directions

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