EASY SALMON AND POTATO FOIL PACKETS RECIPE - (4.2/5)



EASY SALMON AND POTATO FOIL PACKETS Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by Nanasjoy

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium potato, sliced into very thin rounds about 1/16th-inch thick, divided
4 about 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt and pepper to taste, divided
2 salmon filets, about 6 ounces each
1 large orange, halved
1 lemon, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F. To a 12-inch long sheet of foil (I use Reynold's Heavy Duty Non-Stick), add half the potato slices in a pile in the center of foil. Slightly fan out the potatoes so air can circulate. Make sure potatoes are sliced very thin so they cook through in the same amount of time it takes the salmon to cook. Evenly drizzle the potatoes with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and repeat process with another sheet of foil and the remaining potato slices. Top each pile of potatoes with 1 salmon filet. Evenly drizzle each salmon filet with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Squeeze half the juice of the orange over one salmon filet and half the juice over the other filet. Squeeze half the juice of the lemon over one salmon filet and half the juice over the other filet. Season each salmon filet with salt and pepper. Seal foil packets, making sure to tightly crimp the seams so the olive oil and citrus juices don't leak. Place packets on baking sheet and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Carefully open one packet to check for doneness of both salmon and potatoes and if necessary, return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until done.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and firm flesh. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a slimy texture.
  • Season the salmon simply. A little salt, pepper, and lemon juice is all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served hot off the grill or out of the oven. Leftover salmon can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Salmon packets are a quick, easy, and delicious way to cook salmon. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for entertaining guests. With a variety of recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give salmon packets a try.
