Easy Baked Salmon in Foil Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 5 cloves cloves garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press
• 2.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• aluminum foil
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 (3 pound) salmon fillet
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 lemon, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for baking.
2. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, brown sugar, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
3. Lay a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Place the salmon fillet, skin-side down, in the center of the prepared foil. Generously drizzle the olive oil mixture over the salmon.
4. Carefully fold the edges of the aluminum foil over the salmon to form a sealed packet, ensuring all edges are tightly closed to trap the moisture and flavors.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish is easily flaked with a fork. Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and slices of lemon.
