Baked Salmon in Foil

This baked salmon in foil is a delicious recipe. I bought a large piece of wild salmon and made this when we had guests. Very little prep, and the fish came out wonderfully. If your salmon fillet is very thick, it may take longer to bake.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Combine 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Step 3

Place a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Place salmon, skin-side down, in the middle of the foil. Drizzle with olive oil mixture. Fold up the edges of the foil over salmon to create a packet, making sure to seal the edges.
