Salmon with Lemon & Capers in Foil Packets

Prep 10 minutes
Cook 15 minutes
Course Mains
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless and skin-off salmon filets
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 large lemons
  • 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons Marsala or white wine
  • 4 teaspoon capers
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Remove theĀ salmonĀ from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, slice the large lemon in half. With one half, cut into thin slices. The other will be used to squeeze the juice overtop.
  • Lay out two sheets of aluminum foil. Place one salmon filet on each piece of foil and rub generously with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Carefully fold up the edges of the foil to form a "boat" around the salmon. This way, the lemon juice & oil won't spill out!
  • Squeeze the second half of the lemon overtop the salmon filets. Add two lemon slices, the rosemary sprigs, and 1 tsp of capers on each. Add the minced garlic evenly between both pieces of salmon. Sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper to finish.
  • Wrap the salmon completely in the foil, so the entire piece is enclosed. However, leave a little room inside for the heat to circulate - so don't close it up too tightly!
  • Bake the salmon for 10-15 minutes, depending on your preference of done-ness. Check at 10 minutes to see if the thickest part of the salmon is cooked through. Cooking time will vary between oven & thickness!
  • Remove the salmon from the oven once cooked. Serve inside the foil packets with rice or veggies on the side! Enjoy!
