This Baked Rosemary Salmon in Foil cooks in about 20 Minutes, is so flavorful and clean up is a breeze! This will be your new favorite weeknight dinner!
I love easy dinners. The ones where you don’t have to think about it, where you can just put something in the oven for 20 minutes and it’s done. Salmon is probably one of the easiest things to make.
I love Salmon, maybe it’s my Norwegian heritage. I could eat Salmon every day of the week and not get sick of it. Here’s a little secret, I used to be so intimidated of making Salmon.
I guess for me cooking seafood was always like that. I had a fear of under cooking or over cooking it.
After making Salmon a few times I quickly got over this. I realized that it was super easy to make! It’s also super versatile, you can jazz it up so many different ways, such as this Teriyaki Salmon I made a while back.
This was actually my first time baking Salmon in foil. I have grilled Salmon in foil before, so I thought well hey if I can grill it like that then I must be able to bake it like that!
Yep it works! And WOW clean up is so easy! Gotta love that right?!
Basically just lay a piece of tin foil on a baking sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Then put a few lemon slices under the Salmon filet as well as a few on top. The lemon soaks into the Salmon and gives it such a wonderful flavor. Lemon also helps take out any ‘fishy’ type taste. Then I drizzle some olive oil over the Salmon and add the seasonings. Seal up the foil and bake.
See it’s really that easy!

What else can you add to make a full meal that go with the salmon?
Hi Jodi, A lot of times I’ll make Jasmin Rice and Broccoli to go with it. But use whatever you prefer! 🙂

I have never been a fish eater. I have tried it so many times in a variety of different ways and just didn’t like it. My son in law made this for dinner and I absolutely loved it! I’m making it tonight & I can’t wait to eat it. Thanks for sharing!

That’s is music to my ears Chantay! 🙂
What if you don’t have fresh Rosemary, can you use dried? Thanks Mary
Hey Mary, Yes you definitely can substitute it with dried Rosemary. Dried herbs are often more potent and concentrated than fresh herbs, which means you need less. The ratio is around one Tablespoon of fresh herbs to one teaspoon of dried herbs. But always do a taste test before serving and add more seasonings to your liking:)
