Ingredients

6 servings

•
Salmon(907g)
•
Butter(60g)
•
Garlic(480g)
•
Wine, White, Dry(60g)
•
Lemon Juice, Fresh(30g)
•
salt and pepper
•
Parsley, Fresh(60g)
•
Green Onion (Scallion)(60g)

Instructions

1Heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add the salted butter, and cook for 1–2 minutes until melted. Stir in the fresh garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not fully browned. Remove from heat and stir in the white wine and fresh lemon juice.
2Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a large baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang to fold over the salmon.
3Brush a thin layer of the garlic-butter mixture onto the foil. Lay the salmon fillets on the foil in a single layer, then pour the remaining garlic-butter mixture evenly over the salmon. Season with salt and pepper.
4Fold the aluminum foil up and over the salmon to create a sealed packet, crimping the edges tightly to trap steam.
5Bake at 375°F for 12–14 minutes, until the salmon is nearly opaque throughout (cooking time varies by thickness). Carefully open the foil—hot steam will release—and pull back the top to expose the salmon.
6Change the oven setting to broil and return the packet to the oven for 3–4 minutes, watching closely, until the top of the salmon and garlic are lightly golden and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. The garlic should be caramelized but not charred.
7Remove the packet from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Divide the salmon evenly into 6 airtight containers while warm, keeping the foil packet intact if desired to retain moisture.
8Top each portion with fresh parsley and sliced green onions just before serving.
