Ingredients
1.5 to 1.75 lb skin-on salmon fillet
1 lemon sliced into thin rounds
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 tbsp lemon juice
2 to 3 tbsp honey
5 cloves garlic, finely pressed or minced
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1-Preheat oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Line a baking tray with foil and raise the edges to contain the sauce. Toss optional crispy roasted veggies like 2 cups broccoli florets or 1 lb baby potatoes in 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper; spread around edges.
2-Place the salmon skin-side down on the foil. Nestle lemon slices under the salmon evenly.
3-Melt the butter and stir in the lemon juice, honey, and garlic. Pour about three-quarters of this mixture over the salmon and reserve the rest for serving. Drizzle some over veggies if using.
4-Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
5-Seal the foil tightly over the salmon (crimp edges or add a second foil layer) to create an airtight pack. Let it marinate 10 to 15 minutes if time allows. Veggies can bake openly beside.
6-Bake the foil pack on a baking sheet for about 17 minutes. Veggies crisp in same time.
7-Remove from oven and open or remove the top foil layer to expose the salmon while keeping raised edges to hold juices.
8-Switch oven to high broil. Optionally spoon reserved butter mixture over the salmon, then broil 5 to 10 minutes until top and edges turn golden with slight crispness. Watch closely to avoid burning; higher rack helps.
9-Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately with crispy roasted veggies.

๐ฅฆ Arrange vegetables in a single layer around the salmon to ensure even roasting and crispy edges
๐ฅ Keep a close eye while broiling – the honey in the sauce can burn quickly, so check every 2 minutes
๐ Use unsalted butter to better control the salt content, and adjust seasoning based on your taste preferences
