Ingredients:

  • 2 (6 oz / 170 g) salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves (6 g) garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp (3 g) dried dill or fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ tsp (3 g) kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp (1 g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced into rounds

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Tear off two large squares of aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet, lightly brushing with a drop of oil or butter.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place each fillet in the center of a foil sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, and ½ tsp (3 g) dried dill or fresh parsley, chopped.
  4. Drizzle the mixture evenly over each fillet, then season with salt and pepper. Top each piece of fish with 2-3 lemon slices.
  5. Fold the sides of the foil up and over the salmon, pinching the edges tightly to create a sealed pouch, leaving a small pocket of air inside.
  6. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork, or reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
