Be the first to rate it
A salmon fillet baked in a foil packet with garlic tarragon butter and lemon slices.
Ingredients
- Cooking spray or olive oil for packet
- 1 salmon fillet (6 oz)
- 1 tbsp salted butter softened
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp dried tarragon
- ⅛ tsp kosher salt
- 1–2 lemon slices
Equipment
- baking sheet
- mixing bowl
Directions
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Tear off a piece of foil or parchment big enough to wrap the fish and lightly oil the center.
- Set the salmon skin side down in the center. Mix the butter, garlic powder, tarragon, and salt and spread it over the fish. Lay the lemon slices on top.
- Fold the foil up and seal the edges tightly, leaving a little room inside for steam. Set the packet on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and the thickest part reaches 145°F.
- Open the packet carefully, watching for steam, and let the fish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
