Salmon in Foil
INGREDIENTS
- 2 fillets salmon (8.5 oz, 240 g; I use salmon from a Japanese grocery store, so it's a thinner cut)
- kosher or sea salt (I use Diamond Crystal; use half for table salt)
- freshly ground black pepper
- ½ onion (3 oz, 85 g)
- 3 oz carrot (2", 5 cm)
- 1.8 oz shimeji mushrooms (½ package)
- 2 shiitake mushrooms
- 2 strands chives
- 1 ½ Tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
- 1 Tbsp sake (divided)
- 2 Tbsp ponzu or soy sauce (for drizzling; for the homemade ponzu recipe, click here)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Gather all the ingredients.
To Prepare Salmon
- Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides of the salmon fillet.
- Thinly slice the onion and cut the carrot into julienne strips.
- Cut off the bottom of the shimeji mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms. Break up shimeji mushrooms with your hands and thinly slice shiitake mushrooms.
- Cut the chives into small pieces.
- Prepare two 12” x 12” (30 x 30 cm) sheets of aluminum foil. Thinly spread the butter in the center on both sheets.
- Place half of the onion slices and put the salmon on top, skin side down.
- Put two kinds of mushrooms and then carrot julienne strips on top of the salmon.
- Add ½ Tbsp sake and ½ Tbsp butter on top.
- Bring the top and bottom aluminum foil over the salmon and fold a few times. Then bring the sides together and fold a few times to make sure the foil is tightly closed and no opening. Repeat the same process for the second salmon.
To Cook on the Stovetop
- Place the two sets of salmon in foil on a frying pan and cover with a lid (no need to add water). Cook the salmon over medium heat for 2 minutes, then medium-low heat for 10 minutes. If you have 1 to 1 ½ inch-thick salmon, you will need to cook for 15-18 minutes (Open the foil to check the doneness).
To Bake in the Oven
- Alternatively, you can bake at a preheated 425ºF (218ºC) oven for 15 minutes. For a convection oven, reduce cooking temperature by 25ºF (15ºC). If you have 1 to 1 ½ inch-thick salmon, you will need to cook for 18-20 minutes. Carefully open the foil to check the doneness, if you're not sure.
To Serve
- Carefully open the aluminum foil to enjoy the salmon, sprinkle chives and drizzle ponzu or soy sauce on top. Enjoy!
