Baked Salmon in Foil

I love baking salmon in foil! We are all busy and this made it so easy to seal the salmon, cook it for 15 minutes and serve it to my family. And the best part, afterward I just crumbled up the foil and threw it all away. Easy peasy and it made the most impressive meal in no time. A five-star baked salmon meal that is sure to wow your family! With salmon always on the brain (I love salmon, I truly do), I am constantly thinking of new things to make. Making the salmon in foil keeps the flavors and moisture in for a fool-proof dinner that is luscious. I LOVED the flavor that the parmesan garlic herb gave to this salmon. It turns out tender and flaky and full of all of my favorite flavors. I swear the butter made it more tender and the salmon literally fell apart with a fork it was so amazing. As soon as it came out of the oven I broiled the top for a couple of minutes to crisp the edges a bit. It roasted the garlic on top and turned it to pure melt in your mouth goodness. This baked parmesan garlic herb salmon in foil instantly became a new favorite!

Wild, Farm or International: These are all types of salmon that can be found in the stores today. There are so many pros and cons to all, it would take a book to talk about them. I would highly recommend doing your own research and I would highly recommend avoiding international caught or farmed salmon at all costs. They are not regulated like they are in the US and so often use antibiotics, and pesticides which are not allowed in US. Also they often misuse waste water, potentially contaminating the fish. There are 3 types of Salmon cuts: The whole filet, small filet and salmon cuts. The whole and small filets are the most common and easiest to cook and find. Salmon steaks are U-shaped with part of the spine in the middle.What to Look For In Buying Salmon: When buying fresh salmon look for glossy, firm to touch meat that is bright and saturated in color. They should not be chalky, dry or sticky and soft to the touch. Avoid salmon that has cracks or breaks in the muscle or collagen sheaths. Fish should smell fresh and clean and slightly briny like the ocean, never fishy. Also avoid packages that have pooling water in them. Fresh vs Frozen: Buy fresh if you are using the fish in the next two days, other wise stick to frozen. Salmon is often frozen immediately after being caught and preserves the nutrients and freshness.

Crusty: When the salmon is just about done, open the foil and broil for the last 2-3 minutes. This will create a crust on top of the salmon that is absolutely magical. When is the Salmon Done: The best way to tell if salmon is done is to look at it. If the flesh of the salmon flakes, and separates easily along the white lines, it is finished cooking. Salmon will also change from translucent, (red and raw) to opaque (pink) it is done. Salmon can be removed from the heat right before it is done because it will continue to cook as it rests. Internal temperature should be 135 degrees. Do not Over Cook: It is easy to overcook salmon and then it becomes tough and dry. It is better to undercook it slightly and let it finish cooking as it rests than to overcook it. Using Frozen: I use frozen salmon filets all the time and they work beautifully. Thaw them overnight in the fridge or in a bowl of cold water that you change every 10-15 minutes till it is thawed. Can I leave the Skin on: Yes if your salmon has the skin on, you can leave it on and even eat it. It has many nutrients within. Be sure to rinse your salmon and pat dry with a paper towel before placing in the skin side down on the foil.
