Recipe Summary:

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 25 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 2 lemons, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your campfire or grill to medium-high heat. If you’re cooking at home, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place each salmon fillet on a large piece of aluminum foil.
3. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each fillet and season with salt and pepper.
4. Top each fillet with a few slices of lemon and garlic.
5. Wrap the foil around the salmon to create a sealed packet.
6. Place the foil-wrapped salmon directly over the campfire, grill, or in the oven.
7. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Carefully open the foil packets, being cautious of the hot steam.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Helpful Tips

• Make it Your Own: For an added flavor boost, you can sprinkle some chili flakes or add a bit of dill to the fillets before wrapping them in foil.
• Vegetable Variation: Add sliced bell peppers, zucchini, or asparagus in the foil packet for a complete meal.
• Check for Doneness: To ensure the salmon is cooked perfectly, the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, store the cooked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Ingredient Substitutions

• If fresh salmon is not available, you can use frozen salmon fillets, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
• Olive oil can be substituted with avocado oil or melted butter for a different flavor profile.

Pairings

This salmon pairs wonderfully with a light, crisp salad or a serving of roasted vegetables. For drinks, a refreshing mint lemonade or a sparkling water infused with cucumber and mint complements the meal beautifully.
