Looking for a deliciously easy dinner? Try this baked salmon in foil with zesty lemon and fragrant herbs – a true crowd-pleaser! 🍋🐟✨

Ingredients:
- 2 lemons, thinly sliced
- 1 large salmon fillet (about 3 lb.)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 tbsp. butter, melted
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. chopped thyme leaves
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a large rimmed baking sheet, line it with foil, and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. Lay those bright, fresh lemon slices in an even layer right in the center of the foil. This will provide a beautiful, zesty foundation for your salmon!
3. Pat your salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, then place it right on top of your lemon slices.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, minced garlic, thyme, and oregano until well combined.
5. Pour that fragrant butter mixture evenly over the salmon fillet, letting it soak into all the delicious flavors.
6. Now it’s time to fold up the sides of the foil around the salmon to create a tightly sealed packet. This ensures all those wonderful juices stay inside while baking!
7. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. For a finishing touch, switch your oven to broil and broil the salmon for an additional 2 minutes. This will give the butter mixture a chance to slightly thicken and caramelize. Yum!
9. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a pop of freshness. Enjoy every bite!
