Ingredients:

32 oz salmon
910g
1/4 cup honey
88g
4 garlic cloves
12g
4 tbsp soy sauce
66g
1 tbsp vinegar
15g
1 tbsp sesame oil
14g
1 tbsp ginger root
6g
1 tsp chili sauce
4g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger root, chili sauce, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. Prepare the Salmon:
- Place a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Make sure it is large enough to fold over the salmon and seal it well.
- Place the salmon fillet in the center of the foil. If the fillet is too large, you can cut it into smaller pieces to make it easier to handle.
4. Marinade the Salmon:
- Pour the prepared marinade evenly over the salmon. Use a spoon or brush to ensure the salmon is well coated with the marinade.
5. Seal the Foil:
- Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon, covering it completely and sealing the packet closed so the marinade doesn’t leak out. Make sure the foil is tightly sealed to keep the steam inside.
6. Bake the Salmon:
- Place the foil-wrapped salmon in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Serve:
- Carefully open the foil packet, watching out for hot steam. Transfer the salmon to a serving platter.
- Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or fresh cilantro before serving.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve the salmon with rice, steamed vegetables, or your choice of side dishes.

Tips:

- Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture. If fresh isn’t available, thaw frozen salmon thoroughly before cooking.

- Grate the ginger root finely to distribute its flavor evenly throughout the dish.

- Line the foil with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

- For a stronger garlic flavor, you can increase the number of garlic cloves or let the minced garlic sit in the soy sauce for a few minutes before mixing it with the other ingredients.

- Adjust the chili sauce according to your heat preference. You can add more if you like it spicier or skip it altogether if you prefer a milder dish.

- You can also add sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds on top for an extra layer of flavor and a bit of crunch.

Asian Salmon in Foil is a versatile and flavorful dish that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of honey, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil creates a mouth-watering glaze that complements the richness of the salmon perfectly. Cooking the salmon in foil ensures it remains moist and tender while absorbing all the delicious flavors. With simple ingredients and a quick preparation time, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
