Ingredients

1 whole side salmon, scaled, with skin, pin bones removed (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 lemon, very thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Rinse salmon fillet under cold running water and pat dry. Cut a piece of foil long and wide enough to encase the salmon when folded over the center and folded up on the ends. Position the foil on a large baking sheet and place the salmon in the center of the foil, skin side down. Sprinkle the salmon with the salt, pepper, and rosemary. Place the lemon slices over the fish fillet along with the sliced onion and garlic slivers. Drizzle the fillet evenly with the olive oil and fold the edges of the foil up over the salmon and crimp to seal. Fold the edges together on both ends to create an airtight package.

Bake the salmon for 15 minutes, or until just cooked through but still moist. Serve immediately, using a large metal spatula to portion fish. Serve some of the accumulated juices spooned over the fish.

Great and simple recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe as does my husband and I have started making this in my regular rotation of evening meals. It is simple,... quick, convenient and delicious! Wrapping the salmon in the foil pouch keeps the fish moist and keeps the flavors sealed inside the foil "package" I really love this recipe and recommend it as a quick, easy, and delicious evening meal for the family.

Wonderful Salmon Dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I found this recipe to be simple, flavorful and most of all delicious. Rosemary is a great compliment to Salmon. The lemon... added some nice citrus flavor and the onion just rounded out the dish. This is a new favorite of mine and is about as healthy as you can get. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on Wild Salmon, leave the farm raised stuff where it belongs...in the store.Read more

Used Dried Rosemary Instead
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I loved the recipe and I paired it with cauliflower puree and it was phenomenal. However, I found that rosemary can be bitter... if too much of it is added. Loved the lemon, but it is a lot. Read more

So easy and wonderful...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great flavor, easy to prepare, healthy , and quick. What more could you ask for?? Even if not everyone in the house likes... fish, you can scale it down and make it for 1 or 2 as a special suprise. I made 1 serving ( 2 small slices slices.or wedges.) I place a super thin piece of lemon and onion on each Maybe 2-3 leaves of rosemary on each and followed the rest of the recipe. Wow great flavor and so simple. I served it with a Basmati rice cooked in no sodium chicken broth and a few stir fry veggies. Whole meal took unde r30 min ( rice takes about 20ish min) On really rushed nights I just have a salid with it. Quicker than drivre thru! Read more
