Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).

Step 2

On a baking sheet unfurl a long piece of aluminum foil. Using the olive oil, lightly grease the area on the foil sheet where your salmon will sit (this will keep your fish from sticking).

Step 3

Place the salmon fillet centered on the foil. Using the lemon juice pour over the salmon. Add slices of lemon and pats of butter down the fillet, sprinkle with garlic, then season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Fold the end and edges of the foil up and over the salmon to make a "packet". Use more foil if it will not reach, you need to make sure that the "packet" is sealed.

Step 5

Place the wrapped salmon in the oven on the baking sheet and bake at 400°F (205°C) for 14 to 16 minutes. (see notes on cooking times)

Step 6

When your salmon is done remove from the oven and allow to rest for about 5 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
