Preparation
Step 1
Gather all the ingredients. You can use any type of red fish—salmon, trout, pink salmon, or coho salmon. If you don’t have olive oil, regular sunflower oil will work. Choose your preferred spices and seasonings. Half of the lemon will be used for squeezing over the fish, while the other half should be sliced into rounds.
Step 2
Immediately start preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Rinse the salmon steaks well under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. If needed, scrape off any remaining scales from the skin—this is easiest to do if the fish is slightly frozen.
Step 3
Tear off a long piece of foil and fold it in half for extra strength. Place a piece of salmon in the center. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish. Season with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Place a lemon slice on top of the steak. You can also add a sprig of fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or rosemary. Drizzle the fish with olive oil.
Step 4
Fold the foil around the salmon, sealing it well to create a packet. Repeat the process for all pieces.
Step 5
Place the foil packets in an oven-safe dish. How long to bake salmon steak in foil? Bake for about 30 minutes. The exact baking time will depend on your oven and the thickness of the fish pieces.
Step 6
Serve the baked salmon hot, either in the foil (carefully unwrapping it) or plated. Enjoy your meal!
