This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners because it's incredibly simple and comes together in just forty minutes start to finish. You simply wrap a beautiful salmon fillet in foil with garlic, lemon, and aromatic herbs, then let the oven do all the work while you relax. The salmon steams perfectly in its own juices, staying moist and tender every single time. Plus, salmon is packed with omega 3 fatty acids that are wonderful for your heart and brain health. Since everything cooks in one packet, cleanup is practically nonexistent, making this the ideal meal when you want something impressive but hassle free.

The secret is using duck fat, which contains oleic acid, a heart healthy monounsaturated fat that's actually good for you. What I love most is how simple this really is: just potatoes, fat, flour, and salt. From prep to plate in just over an hour, you'll have restaurant quality results without any fuss.
