Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup olive oil
2 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or more to taste
5 cloves cloves garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
aluminum foil
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 (3 pound) salmon fillet
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine 1/2 cup olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Place a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Place salmon in the middle of the foil, skin-side down. Drizzle with olive oil mixture. Fold up the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet, making sure to seal the edges.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. If your salmon fillet is very thick, it can take longer. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (5 ounces each) salmon fillets
2 teaspoons olive oil plus 2 tablespoons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tomatoes, chopped, or 1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, drained
2 chopped shallots
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle salmon with 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir the tomatoes, shallots, 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.
  • Place a salmon fillet, oiled side down, atop a sheet of foil. Wrap the ends of the foil to form a spiral shape. Spoon the tomato mixture over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and tomato mixture, covering completely; seal the packets closed. Place the foil packet on a heavy large baking sheet. Repeat until all of the salmon have been individually wrapped in foil and placed on the baking sheet. Bake until the salmon is just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Using a large metal spatula, transfer the foil packets to plates and serve.
