Salmon in Foil Packet

As usual, I'm making salmon again.  It is just sooooo easy!  But I'm always trying to find another easy way to spice it up.  Tonight I found that baking the salmon in a foil packet was quick and easy from preparation to clean up.  It was so good that I forgot to snap a photo.

Garlic Butter Salmon in foil

(adapted from Damn Delicious)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 pound salmon (I used salmon filets)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a small bowl, whisk together butter, brown sugar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, and rosemary and set aside.

Place salmon on a piece of foil large enough to completely wrap.  Salt and pepper both sides of salmon.  Pull up edges of foil in preparation for wrapping and place on a baking sheet.
Spoon the butter mixture over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, covering completely and sealing the packet closed.

Bake in preheated oven until cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
