For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a few sprigs of fresh dill or a thin slice of lemon to the foil packet before sealing. Feel free to experiment with other seasonings! Garlic powder, paprika, or even a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delicious twist. To ensure even cooking, use a single, uniformly thick fillet. If your fillet is uneven, consider folding the thinner end under to create a more consistent thickness. Check for doneness by gently flaking the salmon with a fork. It should be opaque and easily separate into flakes. If you prefer crispy skin, you can skip the foil and bake the salmon directly on a baking sheet, skin-side down.
