If you like good food, this recipe is for you. If you like good food that is easy to cook, this recipe is for you. If you like good food that is easy to cook and requires little to no cleaning, this recipe is for you. I\u2019ll repeat that: if you like good food<\/strong> that is easy to cook<\/strong> and requires little to no cleaning<\/strong>, this recipe is for YOU!<\/strong> I should be hearing the Hallelujah Chorus from every college kid who has a kitchen right about now, so you\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n

After hours of shameless browsing on Pinterest, collecting hundreds and hundreds of recipes, and repeatedly telling myself that, \u201cI\u2019ll cook that eventually,\u201d I finally decided it was time to buckle down and cook one. Although I love to cook myself, as an average college student, I rarely find the time between studying, catching up on reading, and assignments (and by that, I mean severe procrastination and binge watching Netflix) to spend hours in the kitchen prepping, cooking, and then cleaning up in order to make spectacular meals. So when I started my adventure to select a recipe from my \u201c\u00bfQu\u00e9 quieres comer?\u201d board on Pinterest, I kept the idea of simplicity and minimal cleanup in mind. And with that said, I present to you a recipe for Thai Salmon in foil. Believe me, I understand that the \u201cin foil\u201d might kill the delicious appeal of the dish, but that foil is the almighty savior when it comes to messes. It\u2019s a simple dish that requires what I like to call a \u201cdump and bake\u201d technique that require little to no skill in the kitchen, so come one, come all and make the Thai Salmon in foil!<\/p>\n

Yield: <\/strong>4 Servings<\/p>\n

Prep Time: <\/strong>10 Minutes<\/p>\n

Cook Time: <\/strong>15-20 Minutes<\/p>\n

Total Time:\u00a0<\/strong>25-30 Minutes<\/p>\n

Note from writer:\u00a0<\/strong>If you want to go above and beyond, throw some asparagus underneath the salmon in the foil, spoon the chili mixture on top, throw it in the over, and you\u2019ve got a full meal in a few simple steps!<\/p>\n

What you\u2019ll need:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

4 (5-6 oz) skinless salmon filets<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce<\/p>\n

2 cloves garlic, minced<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon of fish sauce<\/p>\n

*Don\u2019t panic! It adds wonderful flavor to the dish.*<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon on freshly grated ginger<\/p>\n

Juice of 1 lime<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon of Sriracha<\/p>\n

*Optional, but if you can handle it, go for it!*<\/p>\n

\u00bc cup peanuts, chopped<\/p>\n

*Optional if allergies are an issue*<\/p>\n

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves<\/p>\n

What to do:<\/strong><\/h1>\n
    \n
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 Degrees F.<\/li>\n
  2. Place salmon filets in 4 separate sections of foil (large enough to closer over the fish entirely \u2013 individual wrappers make serving portions simpler).<\/li>\n
  3. Place all four filets, separately wrapped on one baking sheet, and set aside.<\/li>\n
  4. To make sauce, whisk together chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, fish sauce, ginger, lime juice, and Sriracha in a small bowl then set aside.<\/li>\n
  5. Make sure to fold all sides of the foil around salmon upward, so it forms a little barrier so sauce will not spill when applied.<\/li>\n
  6. Spoon the chili mixture over the salmon filets making sure each is covered, then fold the foil to cover the salmon (make sure the foil packet is completely closed).<\/li>\n
  7. Place into the oven and bake until cooked through (about 15-20 minutes).<\/li>\n
  8. Garnish with peanuts and cilantro (if desired) then serve immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After the cooking is through and the meal has been enjoyed thoroughly, I hope, all the cleanup really requires is throwing the foil away. Simple as that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
