Detalles de la Receta

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 18 minutes
  • Total Time: 28 minutes
  • Servings: 4
  • Difficulty: Beginner

Ingredientes

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 4 sheets of aluminum foil (about 12x18 inches each)

Instrucciones

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a compound butter.

  3. Lay out four sheets of aluminum foil and place a salmon fillet in the center of each sheet.

  4. Spread the garlic herb butter evenly over each salmon fillet.

  5. Top each fillet with 2-3 thin lemon slices.

  6. Fold the sides of the foil up and over the salmon, then fold the top and bottom edges to create a sealed packet. Make sure there's some room inside the packet for steam to circulate.

  7. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.

  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  9. Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for hot steam) and transfer the salmon to serving plates.

  10. Spoon any remaining butter and juices from the foil over the salmon before serving.

Notas del Chef

  • For a crispier top, open the foil packets for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking and switch the oven to broil.
  • You can prepare these packets up to 4 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Feel free to customize the herbs based on your preference or what you have on hand. Thyme or rosemary work well too.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace butter with olive oil.
  • Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
