For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the foil packet before sealing. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the marinade to your taste. If you prefer a more pronounced citrus flavor, add a few thin slices of lemon directly on top of the salmon before sealing the foil. Ensure the salmon is cooked through by checking for flakiness with a fork. If the fillet is very thick, it may require a few extra minutes of baking time.

StepPreheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

StepIn a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, brown sugar, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade. (5 minutes)
03
StepPlace a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Place the salmon fillet, skin-side down, in the center of the foil. (2 minutes)
