Description
Simple recipe for cooking salmon with lemon and pepper in foil packets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Tear off two large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, about 18 inches long.
- Place one salmon fillet in the center of each foil piece.
- Drizzle each fillet with half a tablespoon of olive oil.
- Sprinkle each fillet evenly with half a teaspoon of lemon pepper seasoning.
- Top each fillet with a few thin slices of lemon.
- Fold the foil over the salmon to create a sealed packet. Crimp the edges tightly to prevent steam from escaping.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully open the packets (watch out for hot steam) and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Notes
- You can add thin slices of asparagus or zucchini to the packets for extra vegetables.
- Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
