Foil wrapped baked salmon is real good and real easy. Also, you can use your imagination when it comes to the veggies.
Starting with salmon filets. We always go with frozen, individually wrapped, wild caught salmon from Alaska. Every time I go by the seafood section at the local grocery all the “fresh” salmon is obviously been there for days or it’s been “responsibly farm raised” or both. Like always tonight I just went with the veggies that were on hand in the fridge.
Pre heat the oven to 400F. Lay out a piece of aluminum foil for each filet. Have the piece of foil big enough to fold over and curl together to seal the package. Spray the foil with oil and set the filet in the middle. Sprinkle a little salt, pepper and whatever else you might like on your fish. Like red pepper flakes or dill weed and on and on.
The veggies tonight are thin lemon slices first. Then thin onion slices, garlic, asparagus, tomatoes, spinach, zucchini. I think that’s it. No wait! Drizzle a little white wine and extra virgin olive oil. But, after the salt and pepper you can do it any way you want. So don’t be turned off by all the ingredients listed. Just go with as much or as little as YOU want.
Wrap the foil and curl it all together sealing the good stuff inside. Put them on a cookie sheet and bake them for 20 minutes.
And there is your Foil Wrapped baked salmon. A bottle of chilled Pinot Grigio would go great and some of poppop’s no-knead-bread.
