InstructionÂ
If the salmon is frozen, thaw it and use a paper towel to dry the pieces. Warm the oven up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
The two pieces of metal foil should be about 17 inches long and 12 inches wide. Place two pieces of butter on one piece of paper. I usually split a 2-teaspoon block into three equal parts.
Put the salmon pieces on the foil with butter. Season them with salt, pepper, old bay seasoning, and dry parsley.
You can put the garlic cloves on the salmon steaks by cutting them up. Put corn and cherry tomatoes around the fish. Stack the last bit of butter on top and add two lemon slices.
Put the second piece of foil on top of the first one. To make a package, fold the foil in half. Leave some space between the folds so that steam can escape. As the salmon cooks, the foil box will get bigger.
A baking sheet with the salmon wrapped in foil should be put in the oven and left there for twenty minutes. When it’s done, carefully open the foil because the steam will be very hot and move it to a plate. Have fun!
Notes
Without salt, I used butter, but plant butter would taste better if you want to make it lighter. I think you should try Country Crock Plant Butter with Olive Oil.
If you don’t want to use garlic, you can use onion instead. Because this dish is so flexible, you can use any vegetables you like. Write down the cooking time for the vegetables you want to use.
Tips for Recipe
When measuring the salmon pieces, you don’t need to be exact. You can make one big piece of salmon or many small foil bags.
This has already been said, but if you buy salmon with the skin on, use the skin-side down when cooking it. If any part of the salmon sticks to the foil, it will only be the skin. Once it’s baked, it will be very easy to peel off.
You don’t want to bake it? You don’t have to worry; just cook the salmon in foil and enjoy the late summer night.
This recipe doesn’t need a lot of butter because the cherry tomato and lemon juice will add enough water to make it cook just right.
