Baked Salmon in Foil

I love baking salmon in foil! We are all busy and this made it so easy to seal the salmon, cook it for 15 minutes and serve it to my family. And the best part, afterward I just crumbled up the foil and threw it all away. Easy peasy and it made the most impressive meal in no time. A five-star baked salmon meal that is sure to wow your family! With salmon always on the brain (I love salmon, I truly do), I am constantly thinking of new things to make. Making the salmon in foil keeps the flavors and moisture in for a fool-proof dinner that is luscious.

I LOVED the flavor that the parmesan garlic herb gave to this salmon. It turns out tender and flaky and full of all of my favorite flavors. I swear the butter made it more tender and the salmon literally fell apart with a fork it was so amazing. As soon as it came out of the oven I broiled the top for a couple of minutes to crisp the edges a bit. It roasted the garlic on top and turned it to pure melt in your mouth goodness. This baked parmesan garlic herb salmon in foil instantly became a new favorite!

All About Baked Salmon in Foil

It is so easy to find good salmon in the stores, the hard part is picking what you want and knowing the differences between them. Baked salmon in foil is easy to make and tastes amazing with my marinade.

Wild, Farm or International: These are all types of salmon that can be found in the stores today. There are so many pros and cons to all, it would take a book to talk about them. I would highly recommend doing your own research and I would highly recommend avoiding international caught or farmed salmon at all costs. They are not regulated like they are in the US and so often use antibiotics, and pesticides which are not allowed in US. Also they often misuse waste water, potentially contaminating the fish.
There are 3 types of Salmon cuts: The whole filet, small filet and salmon cuts. The whole and small filets are the most common and easiest to cook and find. Salmon steaks are U-shaped with part of the spine in the middle.
What to Look For In Buying Salmon: When buying fresh salmon look for glossy, firm to touch meat that is bright and saturated in color. They should not be chalky, dry or sticky and soft to the touch. Avoid salmon that has cracks or breaks in the muscle or collagen sheaths. Fish should smell fresh and clean and slightly briny like the ocean, never fishy. Also avoid packages that have pooling water in them.
Fresh vs Frozen: Buy fresh if you are using the fish in the next two days, other wise stick to frozen. Salmon is often frozen immediately after being caught and preserves the nutrients and freshness.

Tips and Variations to make Foil Salmon Amazing

So juicy and so full of flavor these tips are going to help make an amazing foil salmon!

Crusty: When the salmon is just about done, open the foil and broil for the last 2-3 minutes. This will create a crust on top of the salmon that is absolutely magical.
When is the Salmon Done: The best way to tell if salmon is done is to look at it. If the flesh of the salmon flakes, and separates easily along the white lines, it is finished cooking. Salmon will also change from translucent, (red and raw) to opaque (pink) it is done. Salmon can be removed from the heat right before it is done because it will continue to cook as it rests. Internal temperature should be 135 degrees.
Do not Over Cook: It is easy to overcook salmon and then it becomes tough and dry. It is better to undercook it slightly and let it finish cooking as it rests than to overcook it.
Using Frozen: I use frozen salmon filets all the time and they work beautifully. Thaw them overnight in the fridge or in a bowl of cold water that you change every 10-15 minutes till it is thawed.
Can I leave the Skin on: Yes if your salmon has the skin on, you can leave it on and even eat it. It has many nutrients within. Be sure to rinse your salmon and pat dry with a paper towel before placing in the skin side down on the foil.

When summer hits, all I want is fruit, it’s sweet, good for you and so refreshing. You have to try these summertime fruit favorites, Skewers, Salad, and Dip!

Fruit Pizza

I love this pizza! I do not think that this refreshing fruit pizza can claim its origins from Italy, but that doesn’t matter. It is still luscious. A sweet sugar cookie crust forms the base of this sweet treat. Then it is topped with a cream cheese layer that helps hold it all together. It is creamy, sweet and the perfect frosting for the fruit. Then comes the fun part, decorating it with your favorite fruit. It becomes so colorful and inviting. Slice it up and watch it disappear.

Fruit pizza, is the perfect dessert for BBQs, parties and family gatherings. It’s light and fresh, which is so nice on a hot day. Nobody wants anything too heavy, and although it has fruit on it, it’s sweet and tastes so heavenly, no one will complain. If you haven’t tried a fruit pizza yet, it’s time. and this is the recipe to do it with, tried and true, and a family favorite!

Ingredients For Fruit Pizza

Fresh, sweet and a little bit tart, this a more than just a treat, it’s an occasion all by it’s self!

Unsalted butter: softened and at room temperature.
Granulated sugar: Sweet white sugar.
Egg: Provides structure and moisture.
Vanilla: Sweet flavor.
Flour: All-purpose flour
Baking powder: This will help your cookie crust be light and fluffy.
Salt: Balances the sweet.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Cream cheese: softened and at room temperature.
Powdered sugar: Sift it for easier mixing.
Instant vanilla pudding powder: Adds an incredible vanilla flavor.
Vanilla extract: Sweetness and great flavor.

Whether you make it round or square, this absolutely scrumptious.

Cookie Crust

Prep: Preheat the oven to 350.
Cream: Using a stand mixer, beat together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and mix until combined.
Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until combined, about 2 minutes.
Roll out: Either press the dough evenly into a 14-inch pizza pan or roll it out into a 14-inch circle and put it on a cookie sheet. You can use a sharp paring knife to trim up the edges or leave them for a more rustic look.
Bake and Enjoy: Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Cream: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, pudding powder, and vanilla together until smooth and light. Spread evenly across the cooled crust.
Fruit: Prep your fruits by rinsing them and allowing them to drain completely. Slice as desired and arrange on the pizza as desired. If you would like the glazed look of a fruit tart, mix a few tablespoons of apricot jam with a little water and then brush across the fruit. Serve immediately.

Tips For the Ultimate Fruit Pizza

With a crust that is golden brown, soft and chewy, and a creamy decadent topping this fruit pizza is amazing!

Cookie: This is meant to be soft and a bit chewy. You do not want to overcook the cookie too much, it will make the crust hard and crumbly and hard to eat.
Chill: If you find the dough a bit too sticky, try chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before rolling out.
Cool Completely: You want the cooked cookie dough to be completely cool before adding the cream cheese frosting. Otherwise, it will melt and run.
Fruit: Use fresh colorful bright fruit that is ripe for the best flavor. See below for more fruit ideas. If you are worried about extra moisture on your fruit pizza, after you slice the fruit, let it lay on paper towels for a bit to soak up extra moisture.
Keep it Pretty: I try to avoid using fruits that will brown fast when left out, like bananas, apples, and pears. If you want to use those fruits, toss with some pineapple then allow to dry. This will help keep them from turning brown.
Pattern: There is no wrong way to decorate a fruit pizza! Just let your imagination go with the flow, this is a great way to kids involved and let them put the fruit on!
Holidays: Use fruits and patterns to celebrate certain holidays and occasions. Like red white and blue for the 4th of July or all red fruits for Valentine’s.

Fruit Pizza Variations and Short Cuts

This can come together in a pinch. Prebake your cookie and have the toppings cut and ready to go.

Make-Ahead: This can be made ahead but keep the parts separate till ready to serve. Bake the crust and even put the cream cheese frosting on, but wait to put the fruit on till right before serving. This will keep the cookie from getting too soggy.
Fruit: There are so many options you can use. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, pineapple, kiwi, mango, grapes Oranges, clementines, peaches, and nectarines. Even canned fruit works, just drain well. Canned pineapple, mandarin oranges, pears, and peaches all would be yummy.
Cookie Base: Yes you can use store-bought sugar cookie dough, just roll and bake and top!
Shape: This can be rolled out onto a cookie sheet or even a 9×13 pan. Even though it’s pizza doesn’t mean it has to be a circle to be delicious. Use what works for you.
Frosting: The cream cheese will give it a much-needed bit of tang and creaminess that compliments the fruit perfectly. You can use regular frosting or store-bought vanilla frosting as well. If you do not have vanilla pudding powder, you can omit it and add a bit more vanilla extract.
Store: This is best eaten the day you make it. The longer it is stored the soggier it will get. It is best eaten within 2 days. Keep tightly covered in the fridge.
