Garlic Butter Salmon in Foil
Description
Garlic Butter Salmon in Foil is prepared by coating salmon with a melted butter sauce blended with brown sugar, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried herbs like oregano, thyme, and rosemary. The salmon is placed on foil, covered completely by folding up the foil edges creating a sealed packet.
Baking at 375°F gently steams the salmon inside the foil, locking in moisture and allowing the flavors of the herb and garlic butter sauce to permeate the fish. Cooking for 15-20 minutes ensures the salmon is cooked through but remains tender and flaky. The slight sweetness from the brown sugar balances the savory and herbal notes.
The salmon is served directly from the foil packet, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh contrast. This preparation keeps the cleanup straightforward and preserves the delicate texture of the fish for a satisfying meal.
