Made it exactly as stated in recipe. Bitterly disappointed in this recipe. I spend too much on premium salmon to end up with a flavorless result.

Great salmon recipe! Repeat request by my boys after they discovered they actually love salmon. I didn’t have parsley but I put lemon slices and sprigs of fresh rosemary on top of the fish before I wrapped it and put it in the oven; this was lovely. And I only used 2 tsp of brown sugar, increased the juice to that of a whole lemon ( which was 3 and 1/2 Tablespoons) and used 2 and 1/2 tsp of minced garlic from a jar since that’s easier. For the thicker pieces of salmon, I cooked them 35 minutes and the thinner pieces I put in for 25 minutes and wrapping them in two different packets worked great.

This salmon was good, except I think next time I wouldn’t include the brown sugar. The other ingredients are so savory, the sugar seemed out of place. But loved the cooking technique!
Mary Thomas
This is a great way to make salmon. The Flash was very tender and moist not over or undercooked. I’m going to try the same method with some different spices. Very good thank you!

This turned out very good. Easy with few ingredients. I made step for step. We will make again.

My kids were happy with it! Personally, I hate salmons texture so I was not impressed but the recipe was enjoyed by the little ones and that makes it a hit!
April Ellison
Excellent and simple! The salmon was moist and the blend of seasonings was delicious – and just a little unique. Definitely a “keeper” for my family and an excellent choice for a company or special occasion dinner.

I am not a very good cook and our oven is a full 50 degrees too cool, so cooking is always fraught with potential awfulness. But this came out well! I substituted 1 TBSP maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of dill for the brown sugar and oregano, respectively, and it came out tasting lovely. A little heavy for my liking; I might forego the garlic next time or use less of it. All in all a good recipe.
Michael Reid
Made exactly as written, just skipped the parsley. It was easy and delicious!

I followed this recipe almost exactly just subbed honey for brown sugar. Came out moist and flavor full. I wish my oven had a broiler so I could brown the top and glaze it a bit before serving.
Angel Wheeler
salmon came out wonderfully!
Bob Smith
Didn’t think it had alot of flavor…. Didn’t get a single “WOW” from anyone, as far as being tasty or anything….. Pretty dissapointing…..
Suzanne Taylor
It was a bit overcooked and kind of meh
Thomas Adkins
I think I ate most of this out of the 3 in my family. SOOOO good. will make again hopefully.

My dad loves salmon so i thought i would try this version in the foil pack since sometimes when i cook right in the oven it seems dry, this came out wonderful, very tender and flavorful. I didnt have oregano so i left out, i did add parsely flakes on top before i cooked.
Karen Rodriguez
Made it a first time; Didn’t have enough fresh garlic so also added garlic powder.
