This recipe offers a delightful way to prepare salmon, combining fresh herbs and citrus for a flavorful and aromatic dish.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right temperature for baking.
Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel.
Drying the salmon helps the seasoning stick better.
Cut a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap the salmon completely.
Use heavy-duty foil to prevent tearing during cooking.
Place the salmon in the center of the foil, skin side down.
Centering the salmon ensures even cooking and easy wrapping.
Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Arrange lemon slices, onion slices, and garlic slivers on top.
Distribute the toppings evenly for consistent flavor.
Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon and toppings.
The olive oil helps to keep the salmon moist and enhances flavor.
Fold the foil over the salmon and crimp the edges to seal it tightly.
Ensure the packet is airtight to retain steam and moisture.
Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
Check for doneness by ensuring the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packet and serve the salmon with its juices.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
