Thanks so much for your recipe. I made the garlic, lemon pepper salmon foil pack meal. It turned out perfectly.! Now I need a garlic/ lemon pepper recipe for a 10-14lb turkey for Christmas!

I used this recipe for the first time I've ever cooked or ate salmon. I loved it. Salmon doesn't have a real fishy taste. I added a little more butter during cooking and a little lemon pepper on top of the fillets which I felt made it even more tasty. Very simple easy recipe that anyone can do.

Easy and very delicious! I added sliced jalapeños on top. I also left the skin on, which was no problem.

I made this dish for my parents for their anniversary and they loved it! They were so surprised I made it myself since I'm only 15 but they rated it 10/10!
