Ingredients
- 2 pounds side of salmon (skin-on)
- 2 whole lemon
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
- 4 clove garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 sheet (large enough to wrap salmon) foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Lay a large sheet of foil on a clean work surface. Ensure it is big enough to completely wrap the side of salmon.
Step 3
Place the side of salmon (skin-side down) in the center of the foil.
Step 4
Thinly slice the lemons and set aside 4-5 slices. Squeeze the juice of the remaining lemon slices over the salmon.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salmon. Use a brush or your hands to gently coat the surface.
Step 6
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the salmon.
Step 7
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Arrange the garlic slices on top of the salmon.
Step 8
Place the fresh rosemary sprigs and reserved lemon slices on top of the salmon.
Step 9
Fold the edges of the foil up and over the salmon to seal it completely, making a packet. Be sure the salmon is tightly wrapped to retain flavors during cooking.
Step 10
Transfer the foil packet to a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven.
Step 11
Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 12
Carefully open the foil (steam will escape) and serve the salmon directly from the foil or transfer it to a serving plate.
Step 13
Garnish with additional fresh rosemary or lemon slices if desired. Serve warm.
