Sprinkle the salmon steak with zest of citrus fruit and pour it with lemon juice. Lemon zest and salt are rubbed into the salmon before the garlic butter topping is added, ensuring the tenderness of the fish. Cooking the salmon in foil locks in moisture and also makes the fish incredibly tender. This is a wonderful way to gently add flavor and moisture to fish that you won't get from frying or grilling. Place the salmon on the baking dish (skin side down if your fish has skin).
