Ingredients

1 pound salmon either a whole fillet or 4 smaller ones
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190C/375F.
Rinse the salmon with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Lay out a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet, long enough to wrap the salmon, then place the fish in the center of the foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice.
Spoon the garlic mixture over the salmon, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface. Fold the sides of the foil up over the salmon, then fold the top and bottom edges of the foil together to seal tightly and create a packet.
Place the foil-wrapped salmon on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packet and serve immediately.
