Baked cilantro lemon salmon in foil

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This baked cilantro lemon salmon in foil is delicious! An easy recipe to cook salmon in the oven.

One of my kids love seafood and he is always craving these kind of recipes. He loves tilapia, fish ceviche, shrimp and more, different than my other two kids that prefer beef meat.

Lately we have been adding salmon to our diet because salmon is a healthy protein. It contains Omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin, D and vitamin A.

Salmon in foil is the easiest wat to cook

The baked cilantro lemon salmon cooks fast, you can prepare it the same way in the pan, but I prefer making it in the oven because I find it easier for me.

I like to wrap salmon in foil to keep the moisture but it is not necessary, you can bake salmon with no foil.

Besides, it saved me time cleaning because I lined the tray with thick foil before cooking it.

For better results, try to use fresh salmon instead of frozen. I’ve noticed fresh salmon flavor is better.

Salmon prices are now more accessible. I remember eating salmon was a luxury, now we can find it at a good price.
