Easy Weeknight Salmon in Foil with Veggies

We LOVE salmon in the Rodriguez house and eat it for dinner at least once a week. My husband is the chef of the family and has developed an awesome method to cook perfect salmon on the stovetop. However, this week he decided to try something new and bake salmon in foil.

My husband might make salmon every week, but I’ve never had salmon like this! He’s totally one-upped himself this time! This baked salmon in foil was so amazingly moist and juicy that it tantalizingly flaked apart with each bite. It literally melted in my mouth!

You can see here how just how juicy this foil packet salmon turned out:

Our simple honey sriracha glaze adds just the right amount of a sweet and spicy kick, though you could swap out sauces and seasonings for a new flavor each time.

How to bake perfect salmon in foil packs

I was chatting with a couple friends this week and they both admitted that they’d never tried salmon before. If you’ve never cooked salmon (or even tasted it), then this is hands-down the easiest way to do it.

Bonus: there’s practically zero cleanup!

Ingredients/Supplies

  • 1-2lbs Whole Foods Market Atlantic salmon fillet
  • Vegetables (we used carrots, red/orange bell pepper, and broccolini)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

I’ve tried a LOT of salmon, but what you get at Whole Foods Market is a cut above the rest. It’s rich and buttery and super clean. This was one of the best pieces of salmon I’ve ever had in my life…no exaggeration!

Knowing that Whole Foods Market places a high priority on seafood sustainability is another plus for me. They can trace their seafood from fishery to store and only sell wild-caught seafood from fisheries that are certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or rated either “Green” or “Yellow” by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch and The Safina Center.

For the Honey Sriracha Glaze:

  • 2 TB sriracha chili sauce
  • 4 TB hoisin sauce
  • 2 TB honey

Whisk together ingredients in a small mixing bowl until well-combined.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Line a baking sheet completely with aluminum foil. Place salmon fillet in the middle of the foil and surround with vegetables.

Paint salmon fillet with Honey Sriracha Glaze (recipe above), or sauce of your choosing. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, as much or little as you prefer.

Fold sides of foil up and over the top of the salmon. The foil will not entirely cover the salmon filet, but may cover most of the veggies. Use a smaller piece of foil to cover any open space and seal the salmon and vegetables inside.

Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F.

Remove top piece of foil so most of the salmon is exposed. Finish in broiler for 5-7 minutes.

Salmon will be slightly crispy on the outside and a perfect juicy medium inside; the meat will flake easily with a fork.

    You know that picture alone of that deliciously looking Salmon could virtually get thousands of likes cross many social platforms. I just had the blurt that out, because it just looks so good to me. I have to admit I flopped many times when I tried to grill fresh Salmon in the backyard with a little bit of either oil or cooking spray on the aluminum foil with poked holes in the aluminum foil grilling the Salmon, as pieces of meat kept breaking apart. I so called myself trying to be cute at the time. Unfortunately, my backyard cooking skills didn’t cut the mustard in making my Salmon look as good as yours. 🙂
