Baked Salmon in Foil with Asparagus and Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce Recipe (Page 3 ) | August 31, 2023

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BAKE THE SALMON FOIL PACKS?

Salmon only needs 9-12 minutes of cooking in a hot, preheated oven (425°F – 220°C). Baking the salmon at a high temperature quickly roasts the exterior and seals in the natural juiciness of the salmon, making it tender and moist. You can open the packets and broil/grill in the last 2 minutes of cook time to get those crispy, golden charred edges. Since salmon filets can vary in size, keep an eye on the salmon towards the end of cooking since a thinner salmon fillet will cook faster, and a thicker filet, such as a fattier farmed salmon or a thick wild salmon fillet, may take longer to cook.

THE BEST TYPES OF SALMON TO MAKE BAKED SALMON IN FOIL

Any of these types of salmon will work with this recipe: Atlantic Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, or King Salmon. Overall, wild-caught salmon (not farmed) is always better if you have the choice.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH THE BAKED SALMON RECIPE?
If you’re extra hungry, add a side of cauliflower rice, or roasted vegetables. Of course, you can tuck a slice of tomato, some celery, or sliced carrot, in the foil packet to make it more consistent. If you’re not on a keto diet, a good slice of country bread will soak up the delicious cooking juices of this easy salmon recipe.

HOW TO STORE COOKED SALMON:
Baked salmon will last up to 2-3 days in the refrigerator if stored properly. Discard the foil, store cooled salmon in an airtight container, seal, and refrigerate. To freeze, store cooled salmon in sealed airtight containers for up to 1 month.
