Description
Simple recipe for cooking salmon fillets with lemon and pepper inside foil packets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Tear off four large squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 12 inches each.
- Place one salmon fillet in the center of each foil square.
- Drizzle each fillet with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Sprinkle each fillet evenly with salt, black pepper, and lemon pepper seasoning.
- Top each fillet with a few thin slices of lemon.
- Fold the foil over the salmon to create a sealed packet, crimping the edges closed.
- Place the packets on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
- Carefully open the packets (steam will escape) and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can add asparagus or green beans to the packets for a complete meal.
- Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
- Use parchment paper inside the foil if you are concerned about direct contact with aluminum.
