Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Baked Salmon in a Foil Packet Recipe). Baking salmon in a foil packet it a very healthy way of preparing fish, because you don't need to use any fat for the baking process. I season the salmon with an exotic mix of marjoram, lemon, and star anise, but you could use the same method with different herbs and spices.

Main Dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook onions until soft and browned about 10 minutes. Season with marjoram and a little salt. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Place lemon slices in a single layer in a clean skillet over high heat and cook until lightly browned on both sides about 3 minutes. Add star anise and water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Cover a baking pan large enough to hold the salmon with sheets of aluminum foil leaving an overhang on all sides. Lay onions in a single layer on the bottom; place salmon fillet on top skin-side down. Rub fillet with salt and pepper. Cover with lemon slices and star anise. Fold up the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet making sure to seal the edges well.

Step 5
