Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillet
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 whole lemon
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill

Instructions

  1. 1

    Tear off a large sheet of foil and lay the salmon skin-side down in the center.

  2. 2

    Dot the salmon with butter, scatter dill on top, and slice half the lemon over it.

  3. 3

    Fold the foil edges up and seal tightly, leaving a pocket of air inside.

  4. 4

    Place the packet on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 12–14 minutes.

  5. 5

    Open the foil (steam will escape—be careful) and slide the salmon onto a plate.

Tools you’ll need

  • baking sheet
  • aluminum foil
