Honey Salmon in Foil
A no-fuss, super easy salmon dish that’s baked in foil for the most tender, most flavorful salmon ever!
Salmon in foil isn’t the prettiest thing in the world but despite it’s looks, it is by far the best kind of salmon I have ever had.
Now if you’re not familiar with the foil method, it’s really just a super easy and simple way to prepare fish.
Simply season the salmon in this sweet garlic mixture loaded with fresh thyme, fold it up and pop it in the oven.
That’s it!
After 15 minutes, you’ll have a wonderfully seasoned salmon that easily flakes with a fork.
Serve with rice and/or vegetables and dinner is set!

This sounds amazing…I’m wondering if I could do it on my grill like a “hobo pack”.
I don’t think the grilling method would work very well here. This recipe was created specifically to be baked in the oven, creating a very moist, flavorful fish.
We cook it on the grill like this all of the time. Turns out fabulously!
Have you made this recipe on the grill? I’m looking for something simple like this for my anniversary dinner tonight & I’m super inexperienced when it comes to cooking fish! 🙂
I actually haven’t tried this on the grill just yet. We live in LA with a very small patio to fit a grill unfortunately!
I’ve done Salmon on the grill several times. The first time I di it, I went to the fish store and bought almost 5 pounds. I was feeding four, and my wife siad my goodness, are you feeding an army. Of course there was very little left. Go for it, it was great
A couple of years ago we bought a new toaster oven. Since I had been using one for many years but didn’t know all I should have known, I called the company. I asked could I cook this or that or so-and-so in it. He said I could make anything in it that I could in a conventional oven. Also, I just say a question about grilling. There’s more than one kind of grilling. We recently bought an OptiGrill. I have been improvising a bit by grilling things meant to be barbequed outside. Really wonderful. Salmon and other fish come out sweet and perfect, That’s because the grill does all the thinking for me. Just imagine!
I love salmon and I am always looking for new ways to cook with it. I can’t wait to try this! Great pictures!
Your pictures are always so beautiful, it makes me happy looking at them 🙂
I love new ways to cook salmon and this looks delicious. Going to try this soon!
This sounds like an amazing combination – and the only ingredients I’m missing – is the salmon! I love how thyme always adds that bit of homely-taste to anything savoury 😀
Looks so yummy. I was wondering if it’s okay to do this in a toaster oven? If so, do I have to make changes in the recipe? Thanks.
Yes, you can certainly use a toaster oven. But as I have not tried the toaster method myself, you will need to make the appropriate adjustments accordingly.
The pics still look amazing. Need to get some salmon next shopping trip!
Honey with salmon, I can only imagine how tasty it is, the sweet playing off the salty from the fish. You did this proud. Not an easy thing to shoot Im sure!
