Baked Salmon In Foil Packets

Easy dinners are a critical part of our household, and my Weight Watchers success.  When recipes get difficult, I won’t cook them.  This baked salmon in foil packets recipe is so easy and perfect for a quick and healthy dinner.

While we have been watching the Olympics this weekend (we watch pretty much anything on TV and the US Women’s Gymnastics team), I have been craving this recipe.  We have been couch potatoes this weekend, so why not make a quick, healthy dinner while we watch the top athletes in the world?

What I absolutely love about this recipe is not just how quick and easy it is to make.  But there aren’t many dishes to do afterwards.  You basically make everything in the foil packet, so you just have to throw those away after they finish cooking.  Can’t get much quicker than that.  And if there aren’t many dishes to do, my husband is happy (yes, he does the dishes if I cook dinner).

To make this baked salmon in foil packets recipe:

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Sprinkle salt and pepper on the salmon fillets. Disperse the Parmesan cheese over both of the salmon fillets.  Spread out some aluminum foil. Spray the middle of the foil with olive oil spray.  Put 3 lemon slices on the bottom of each salmon fillet. The put the salmon. Top with 3 more lemon slices and a sprig of rosemary.

Fold the foil into a packet so that no juice can escape while cooking.  Place the packets in the oven (you can use a cookie sheet if you want) and bake for 20 minutes.  Serve immediately.

    I don’t cook salmon often, but I know that I will be baking it next time that I do make it. It’s so good and flavorful!

    Thank you Helene. It’s so healthy and so filling. I couldn’t eat all of my half of the fish…it was so good, but so much food. I really loved how quick the clean up was.
