Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Salmon fillets (skinless, boneless)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices Lemon slices
- 2 sprigs Fresh dill (optional garnish)
- 4 sheets Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your dishwasher by running it on a normal cycle without detergent to ensure it is clean and ready for cooking.
Lay out 4 sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil on a counter. Each sheet should be large enough to fully wrap a single salmon fillet.
Place one salmon fillet in the center of each foil sheet.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each fillet, and then season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Top each fillet with a lemon slice. If desired, place a small sprig of dill on top for added flavor.
Fold the sides of the aluminum foil over the salmon, then fold up the ends to create a tightly sealed packet. Make sure the packet is watertight to prevent dishwasher water from entering.
Place the foil packets on the top rack of your dishwasher. Do not use any soap or detergent.
Run the dishwasher on a regular wash cycle with heated drying enabled. The heat and steam from the dishwasher will cook the salmon during this process. This typically takes about 60 minutes.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the packets from the dishwasher—they will be hot. Let them rest for a minute before carefully opening the foil packets to avoid steam burns.
Serve the salmon directly from the foil or transfer to a plate. Garnish with additional dill if desired, and pair with your choice of sides, such as rice, steamed vegetables, or a light salad.
