Lemon Dill Salmon in Foil
Lemon Dill Salmon in Foil is a baked salmon recipe where fillets are cooked sealed in foil packets with a sauce of melted butter, fresh lemon juice and zest, garlic, and dill. This method steams the fish gently, keeping it moist and infused with citrus and herb flavors. The dill adds fragrant freshness that complements the richness of the butter and salmon.
