Baked Salmon in Foil

    • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place each salmon filet on a large sheet (large enough to enclose each salmon) of heavy-duty aluminum foil to bring to room temperature before baking.
      2 pounds salmon filets
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, lemon juice, dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and dried thyme. Whisk together until completely combined.
    ⅓ cup brown sugar,5 tablespoons salted butter,2 tablespoons lemon juice,1 ½ tablespoons dijon mustard,1 ¼ teaspoons garlic powder,¾ teaspoons onion powder,½ teaspoon salt,½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Pour the liquid mixture evenly over both salmon filets and top with lemon slices. Fold the edges of the aluminum foil to enclose each piece of salmon. If you need to, use another foil to wrap the salmon.
    2 lemons
  • Place the salmon on a sheet pan before baking in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the salmon is 145°F at its thickest part. (Salmon that is thicker or larger will take longer to cook.) 145°F is for well done salmon. For medium to medium-rare salmon, you would want between 125˚F and 135˚F.
  • Remove from heat and let rest for five minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh minced parsley, optional, and then plate and serve.
