Baked Sockeye Salmon in Foil

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 2

Place the salmon in a large sheet of aluminum foil on a rimmed baking sheet. Pat the salmon dry with a sheet of paper towel.

Step 3

Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley flakes, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Drizzle this over the salmon, trying to cover all parts of the salmon equally. Place the lemon slices on top of the salmon.

Step 4

Cinch together the sides of the foil to close the salmon into the foil packet.

Step 5

Bake for 10 minutes and then open the foil packet. Broil on high for 2 to 3 minutes, making sure it doesn’t burn.

Step 6

Remove the salmon from the oven and serve immediately. Top with optional fresh dill.
