Salmon recipe

If you want to impress your family with a fancy looking salmon dish, this baked salmon recipe is for you! It is not only fast and easy to make, but it tastes amazing! The buttery garlic sauce pairs great with any fish.  I used it in my Garlic Butter Baked Salmon with veggies and it was a hit!

And baking salmon in foil makes clean-up a breeze. When you are done, throw all the foil packs in the garbage. No need to wash plates!

how to make foil packets

Making an entire healthy dinner in a foil pack sounds like a dream. You can cook it in the oven or on the grill. You can customize your foil pack by choosing your own ingredients. For example, my elder son doesn’t like asparagus and always puts mushrooms instead.  Everybody choses what they want and prepare foil packets themselves. This makes everybody happy. And clean-up is seriously a breeze!

You will need a good quality strong aluminium foil to make packets.

Place salmon and asparagus in the center of a foil piece, season with salt and pepper. Add buttery garlic sauce and top with shredded parmesan cheese. Cover the salmon and asparagus with foil and seal the edges.

You can cook these salmon foil packs on the grill or in the oven.

For the oven, preheat it to 400 F (200 C), place foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 13-15 minutes or until the desired doneness. For crispy edges, open and broil for 2 extra minutes.

How long to grill salmon in foil

Preheat grill. Grill salmon foil packs on medium high for 17-20 minutes or until cooked through.

Alternatively you can broil them after grilling for 2-3 minutes in the oven to get a crispy top. This is optional.

Why cook salmon in foil

  • The aluminium foil locks in moisture and guarantees that salmon turns out to be flaky and tender.
  • It is a healthy way to cook salmon. Even if you don’t add any butter, you still get delicious juicy salmon without it.
  • The whole process of opening up the packets of lemon parmesan salmon & asparagus is exciting. That burst of amazing smells when you open the packets is to die for!
  • Clean-up is a breeze.
