This baked salmon in foil is bursting with flavor! This salmon recipe is done in 30 minutes, and it's cooked until tender with lemon butter garlic sauce.
Thaw the salmon and pat dry the fillets with a paper towel if using frozen salmon. Preheat the oven to 400 Fahrenheit.
Place two pieces of aluminum foil (approximately 17 x 12 inches) on your work surface. Take one of the foil pieces and put two pieces of butter (I usually divide 2 tablespoon into three parts).
Place the salmon fillets on the foil with butter and add seasoning (old bay seasoning, salt, pepper, and dry parsley).
Slice the garlic cloves into smaller pieces and put them on the salmon fillets. Add cherry tomatoes and corn around the fillets. Place the remaining piece of butter on top and add two slices of lemon.
Take the second piece of aluminum foil and place it on top. Fold the foil, so you create a packet. Don't fold too tightly since there needs to be room for steam. The foil packet will expand as the salmon cooks.
Put the baking sheet with the salmon foil packet in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Once it's done, open the foil carefully since the steam will be scorching, and transfer it to a plate. Enjoy!
Notes
I used unsalted butter, but you can substitute it with plant butter, for a lighter taste. I recommend Country Crock Plant Butter with Olive Oil.
You can substitute garlic with onion if you don't want to use it.
This recipe is so versatile, you can add any veggies you prefer. Just note the cooking time, based on the veggies you want to use.
