Salmon Baked in Foil

Most Asian families like mine have many children, but the next Asian generation of families is getting smaller. Preparing a meal for one or two people sometimes is hard to utilize the ingredients in an effective way. Most of my nieces and nephews are still in college and are still single. They always call me for a healthy recipe for one or two, and it gave me ideas to start creating healthy recipes for just one or two. I use only good fats from plant-based oil, such as olive, coconut, canola, sunflower, flaxseed, and sesame seeds. Fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, trout, and sardines, are the protein sources that I must have daily. Today, I will introduce an easy recipe for everyone who has only a small space for cooking in his or her apartment. This recipe needs just foil and a few ingredients to create a simple healthy recipe.

Ingredients;
One 6 to 8 oz. salmon fillet
1 piece of foil
1/4 cup sliced white onion
Sauce ingredients:
2 tsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tsp honey
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp fresh herb, such as thyme or parsley, cilantro
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne

Directions;
Cut a piece of foil to form a baking basket large enough to hold salmon (about 8 inches x 8 inches).



Mix sauce ingredients together in a bowl.
Place the white onion slices into the foil baking basket first followed by the salmon and topped with the sauce. Seal the foil to cover the salmon completely.


Bake in a toaster oven or NuWave® oven set to 350° for 10 minutes. Serve with steamed broccoli, asparagus, or your choice of vegetable.
