Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

02

Step
10 mins

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes and green beans, cover, and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

03

Step
5 mins

Brush the shiny side of 2 large pieces of aluminum foil with 1 teaspoon olive oil each. Place salmon skin-side down in the center. Brush remaining olive oil and garlic over salmon. Sprinkle dill on top. Divide lemon slices over salmon; squeeze 1/2 lemon on top. Season with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/3 teaspoon salt.

04

Step
2 mins

Cover salmon with 2 pieces of aluminum foil, shiny-side down. Roll aluminum foil inwards on all sides to create a pouch. Transfer pouches to a baking sheet.

05

Step
11 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.

06

Step
3 mins

Mix mayonnaise and capers together in a small bowl to make a tartar sauce. Stir in juice from 1 lemon, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

07

Step
1 mins

Serve steamed potatoes, green beans, and tartar sauce alongside salmon.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the foil pouches before sealing.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs like parsley or chives in the tartar sauce.
Ensure the salmon is cooked through but still moist by checking for flakiness with a fork.
