This simple salmon recipe is a dinnertime trifecta; healthy, filling, and quick. And one more thing: it’s easy to clean up as all the ingredients cook inside aluminum foil (hence the name). Fresh lemon juice and fresh dill brighten up the flavor profile, while butter and garlic give the salmon a comforting richness. Serve this Easy Lemon Salmon in Foil alongside a side salad or wild rice for a well-rounded meal.
