Thai Salmon in Foil
The flavors are sealed right into a foil packet with no clean up! The salmon comes out so tender/juicy. Sure to be a family favorite!
It’s crazy.
I was never a fan of Thai food until 3 years ago.
Really.
I think it was the smell of fish sauce. I couldn’t stand to be near it.
I still can’t stand to be around it – except when it’s added to Thai-inspired dishes, the flavors are AH-MAZING.
Or can I say, the flavors are “lit”?
A few of my friends were discussing the definition of “lit” last night, and we came to the conclusion that it meant “crazy good”.
Is that right you guys?
Because after that, we were basically sending each other snaps, being in bed at 9:00PM, or dancing to Spice Girls in front of our dog and cat with the caption: Our Saturday night is lit.
So basically. what I’m trying to say here is this:
This salmon is legit lit. With no clean up.
Boom.

Amazing! We didn’t have Sriracha so substituted Chili Garlic Sauce. I can serve that to anyone without worrying.
Great recipe.
This was simple and delicious. I put in a bunch of sliced up bell peppers with the salmon. Had a nice crunch to the soft salmon. Next time I’ll marinate the salmon in the sauce overnight. This will be delicious cold served over a salad or slaw. Thank you for the recipe.
This was soooo delicious!! I made a Thai influenced cole slaw to go with the salmon. I ended up taking some of salmon sauce and putting in with the cole slaw and it moved the slaw up many notches! Thank you, I’ll be making this again and again!
where is the nutritional info?
hey Chungah, you did this tonight… I have to say this is the “how to make your family happy” class. It may sound funny but I served it with Pad Thai, no meat or shrimp, I mean…just with vegetables and Pad Thai Tamarind sauce.
Thanks, he was in!
This dish was absolutely delicious! It was so full of flavor. The entire family loved it! I will definitely add this to my favorite recipe list.
Really tasty, light and easy to prepare !!
Had this tonight with skin on salmon portions. Added a few slices of red onion on top before wrapping in aluminium foil and half submerging in a water bath in the oven at 200*C for 30 mins. Serve on bed of rice with juices over top and a garden salad with sweet Thai salad dressing. Wonderful.
Soooo good! Definitely making this again
My wife and son can’t get enough of this salmon. So easy to make and easy to clean up.
Simple, easy and perfect!
This is now my favorite salmon recipe.
Thank you soooo much!
Really tasty, light and easy to prepare… even foe a novice.
I followed this recipe exactly and it came out perfect. Super delicious. I will definitely make this one again!
This was delicious! Only thing I changed was I added 1 tsp of lemongrass paste and I didn’t use the peanuts or cilantro. I made some jasmine rice on the side. I’ve printed it 🙂
This was very yummy. We had it with calrose rice and green beans. So easy and amazing. ❤️
Amazing recipe.. you cannot go wrong with this. Very impressive at a dinner party too. Thank you
Let me just say how delicious and easy this recipe is. I was looking for a recipe for a recent camping trip – you know easy foil packet recipe. I prepared everything prior to leaving and assembled the packets in the RV. We put the sealed packets on the BBQ and about 20 minutes later we enjoyed the best camping meal ever! We accompanied the meal with a Thai salad. This recipe is a keeper for sure.
I have been using recipes from your site the last couple of months, but this one I had to review because it is out of this world. I prepared just as written with the exception of the peanuts at the end. I eat a lot of salmon, have tried numerous methods of preparation, and I feel this is the best. I can’t wait to prepare this for guests.
Thanks for this great recipe. I made this tonight with Pacific Sockeye filet. Delicious!
Baked for 20mins., broiled on high for 5 minutes made the sauce thicken, perfect w Jasmine rice. Add side Asian salad w citrus-ginger dressing, sliced ripe avocado. So yumm.
This was an excellent recipe! The salmon I had definitely took longer than 15 to 20 minutes (I think because I used multiple layers of foil – one piece of foil could not seal the salmon filets). Also, I highly recommend serving the salmon with spoonfuls of the sauce that pools around the salmon. The sauce is SO GOOD.
