Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line an oven safe dish or baking sheet with foil - ensure the piece of foil is large enough to fold over and seal the salmon, creating a packet.
- Pat dry your salmon. Add a slight squeeze of lemon to your salmon, and season with green seasoning ( alternatively parsley and cayenne pepper), Old Bay, salt, and black pepper.
- Using a garlic press, crush garlic and add half to the bottom of the prepared dish/sheet. Add butter/ghee.
- Place salmon on top of garlic butter, and fold the sides of the foil over the salmon. Ensure the packet is well sealed so the sauce does not leak.
- Place the dish/sheet into the oven, and bake until cooked, 12-16min. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillet - check notes section.
- Open foil packet, and broil salmon for 2-3 minutes. Stay close, be careful not to burn your fish!
Notes
a. When the salmon flakes easily with a fork, it's ready. You can also use an instant read thermometer - a minimum internal temperature of 145°F, indicates doneness. This should be measured at the thickest part of the fillet.
