Ingredients
  • 1 salmon fillet per person (size isn't so important)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic powder
  • olive oil
  • lemon (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C.
  2. Rip off two pieces of aluminium foil. When you put your salmon fillet in the middle, you want that aluminium foil to have about 3 inches of space on either side.
  3. Put the fillet in the middle of the aluminium foil. Lightly drizzle the salmon with olive oil. If you want it all perfectly even, use a spoon, brush, or your finger to make sure the salmon is evenly spread.
  4. Generously sprinkle the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Don't shake the seasonings out aggressively, but you can put a visible layer of each on your fish. Seasoned Salmon
  5. Close up the aluminium foil so that you have a nice little fish packet.
  6. Put the packets on a baking sheet and put in the oven.
  7. Bake for 13-20 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. It is cooked through when the fish is flaky. The length of cooking time is based on the thickness of the fish. Think about 6-8 minutes per ½ inch of thickness.
  8. Remove from the oven, take out of the foil, and serve. Serve alongside a wedge of lemon if you like.
