- 1 lb salmon fillet
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon slices for garnish (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Tear off two large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12 inches long each.
- Place one salmon fillet on the center of each piece of foil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over each salmon fillet.
- Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Fold the foil to create sealed packets, ensuring no sauce can escape.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam).
- Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- You can add vegetables like asparagus or broccoli florets to the foil packets along with the salmon.
- Ensure the foil packets are well-sealed to keep the salmon moist.
