# What You'll Need:
→ For the Salmon
01 -
2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley, fresh
02 -
4–5 slices of lemon, to finish
03 -
Black pepper, freshly cracked, as much as you like
04 -
Salt, season to taste
05 -
30 ml lemon juice squeezed fresh
06 -
4 big garlic cloves, crushed up
07 -
80 ml honey
08 -
55 g unsalted butter
09 -
1.1 kg salmon side, leave the skin on, pull the pin bones out
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Slide the salmon onto your platter. Toss over some parsley, throw on those lemon slices, and enjoy right away.
02 -
Pop the foil open so the top's exposed, but be careful, steam's hot. Hit it with the broiler on medium for a couple minutes till you see a golden crust and it's caramelized.
03 -
Set the tray on the oven rack and bake till the salmon turns just opaque and flakes, about 15 to 18 minutes. How long depends how thick the fish is and how well-cooked you like it.
04 -
Lift the foil sides over the salmon so everything's wrapped up tight and sealed. That keeps the juices in.
05 -
Set the fish skin-down right on the foil tray. Drizzle the honey garlic butter all over, brush or spoon it on so every bit is coated, then toss on salt and black pepper.
06 -
Drop the butter in a little saucepan, let it melt over medium-low, then add honey, garlic, and the lemon juice. Stir till it all comes together and the honey’s mixed in.
07 -
Stick your oven rack in the middle and heat it up to 190°C. Cover your baking tray with a good-sized piece of foil so you can fold it up over the salmon later.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
If your salmon's too wide for one piece of foil, layer two sheets so you can still wrap and seal it up.
