Recipe Summary Baked Salmon In A Foil Packet

Baking salmon in a foil packet it a very healthy way of preparing fish, because you don't need to use any fat for the baking process. I season the salmon with an exotic mix of marjoram, lemon, and star anise, but you could use the same method with different herbs and spices.

Ingredients | Baked Salmon Recipe Lemon Butter

olive oil

2 medium onions, halved and sliced

1 teaspoon dried marjoram

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 lemons, sliced

5 pods whole star anise pods

⅓ cup water

aluminum foil

1 (1 1/2-pound) salmon fillet

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook onions until soft and browned, about 10 minutes. Season with marjoram and a little salt. Remove from heat.

Place lemon slices in a single layer in a clean skillet over high heat and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes. Add star anise and water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

Cover a baking pan large enough to hold the salmon with sheets of aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. Lay onions in a single layer on the bottom; place salmon fillet on top, skin-side down. Rub fillet with salt and pepper. Cover with lemon slices and star anise. Fold up the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet, making sure to seal the edges well.

Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, open foil carefully, and serve.
