Foil Roasted Salmon

Foil roasting is a simple cooking technique. It seals in moisture, juices and flavor. My favorite part is the easy cleanup. Just toss the foil when you're done!

Foil Roasted Salmon

• 1 lb piece boneless salmon (preferably wild)about 1 inch thick, rinsed in cold water and dried well with paper towel
• kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 tsp, minced garlic
• 1 large lemon, sliced 1/3 inch thick
• fresh herbs, I used a small branch of rosemary and some stems of lemon thyme

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Place salmon in the center of a large piece of foil, flesh side up. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper.

Add the butter and garlic into a bowl and mix until blended. Evenly spread onto the salmon. Place the lemon slices on top of the now buttered fish. Put the fresh herbs directly onto the lemon.

Seal the fish in the foil by holding the ends together and rolling down towards the fish to create a nicely sealed package.

Place on a baking sheet or dish and put into the oven. Roast for about 20 to 25 minutes (depending on the thickness). Then remove from the oven and let sit for about 5 minutes.
