Honey Garlic Salmon Foil (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ For the Salmon
01 -
1.1 kg salmon side with skin, pin bones out
02 -
55 g plain butter
03 -
80 ml honey
04 -
4 big garlic cloves, smashed
05 -
30 ml lemon juice, fresh
06 -
Add salt as you like
07 -
Crack some black pepper, to taste
08 -
4–5 lemon rounds for serving
09 -
2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Move your salmon to a serving dish. Add the parsley you chopped and toss on the lemon rounds. Dig in right away.
02 -
Pop open that foil so the salmon's top shows. Be careful—steam can hit fast! Slide it under the broiler (grill) over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes to get a crispy golden look.
03 -
Place your tray in the oven. Bake it for 15 to 18 minutes. How thick your fish is and how you like it cooked will change the time. Stop baking once the salmon goes opaque and just flakes easily.
04 -
Wrap the foil up and over your salmon. You want those edges pressed together to make a tightly closed parcel so none of that sauce can drip out while baking.
05 -
Lay your salmon, skin side facing the foil-lined tray. Drizzle all the honey garlic butter over it. Brush or spoon on the sauce so it's spread everywhere. Toss salt and plenty of black pepper on top.
06 -
Fire up a little saucepan over medium-low. Let the butter melt down. Then mix in honey, smashed garlic, and lemon juice. Stir until it all comes together and the honey blends in.
07 -
Put your oven rack in the middle spot. Warm it up to 190°C. Cover your baking pan with a big foil sheet. Make sure it's big enough to fold over and cover the salmon nicely.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
If your salmon is too wide for normal foil, overlap two foil pieces to close it up right.
