Other Instructions
- Rip off 4 big sheets of aluminum foil. Place a salmon filet in the center of each sheet. Divide the baby broccoli into 4 servings, 1 for each packet, and place around the salmon.
- Fold the edges up to enclose the salmon and baby broccoli.
- Evenly spoon the sauce over each foil packet to cover the salmon and baby broccoli. Place 1 tbsp of butter in the center. Finally place 1 slice of lemon on top of the butter.
- Fold up the foil more to mostly cover the ingredients, but leaving a little space to let the packet vent. You can rip off more foil if needed to enclose the ingredients.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the salmon and baby broccoli are both cooked through.
