Chicago-Style Salmon Fillets

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicago-Style Salmon Fillets.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, take four pieces of aluminum foil, each measuring 6x6 inches, and give them a light spray of cooking spray to prevent sticking.

   To elevate the taste, spread a tablespoon of Dijon mustard on top of each piece, adding a delightful tang.

   Then, sprinkle the diced dill pickles and onion over the mustard, bringing in a crunch that complements the salmon beautifully.

   Carefully wrap the aluminum foil around the salmon, sealing the edges tightly to form little packets that will keep all the flavors locked in.

   Place these packets on a baking sheet and slide them into your preheated oven.

   Let them bake for about 15 minutes, or until the salmon is perfectly flaky and tender, ready to melt in your mouth.
