How To Bake Salmon In Foil

The first benefit of baking salmon in foil is that it keeps the moisture in.

It enhances the flavor even without much seasoning by sealing in moisture.

We also like to bake our salmon because it requires little attention from the chef.

It is as simple as throwing the salmon in..

..setting the timer, and following the directions.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy a glass of wine..

..while you prepare the rest of your meal.

To bake salmon in foil, you just need to know the cooking time..

..and prepare the fish before baking.

Obviously, not all recipes take the same amount of time to cook.

As a general rule of thumb..

..you should bake salmon in foil between 15 and 20 minutes.


How to Grill Salmon in Foil

We can all agree that fish can sometimes be more difficult to grill than other meats.

The tenderness of salmon is especially appealing.

As a salmon lover..

..you’ve experienced the sad moment when you flip your fish over..

..and it breaks into pieces.

And by the way..

..we’re not complaining as its tenderness is a big reason we love it, aren’t we?

Thus, grilling salmon in foil reduces the chances..

..of the tender deliciousness breaking apart.

Everything is wrapped together with foil.

In order to grill salmon in foil..

..we recommend that you wrap the salmon in foil with all the flavors you desire.

Wrap your salmon with heavy duty foil..

..make a pocket for it, and don’t wrap it too tightly.

There should be room inside the foil for the aromas to work..

..into the moisture and cook into your salmon.

Make sure your grill is preheated as well.

Also, by wrapping it in foil you ensure that the meat is evenly cooked..

..and none of the parts are overcooked.

In this way, the salmon retains its juiciness and its flavors are preserved.


How to Steam Salmon in Foil

It is common to hear about baking and grilling salmon in foil..

..but steaming salmon in foil is a new concept.

Did Salmon steam in foil?

Is that even possible?

Yes, it’s a big yes!

The aluminum foil keeps the moisture inside and it is non-flammable!

Depending on the recipe, you may want to steam your salmon for 10 to 20 minutes..

..while others may recommend only 5 or 6 minutes..

..when the water has boiled and the salmon is done.

It depends on the size and cut of your fish.

Here, you should use your best judgment.
