Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approx. 12x16 inches).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, and fresh lemon juice.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Place one fillet on each piece of foil. Season all sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Drizzle the garlic herb butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillets. Top each fillet with 2-3 lemon slices.
- Bring the long sides of the foil together over the salmon and fold them twice to seal tightly. Fold in the shorter ends to create a completely sealed packet.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully open the foil packets, allowing steam to escape. Let them rest for a minute before serving.
Notes
Check for Doneness: Salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and its internal temperature reaches 135-140°F.
Vegetable Add-ins: Add quick-cooking vegetables like asparagus spears or sliced zucchini directly to the foil packets before baking for a complete meal.
