Sake no hoiru yaki is one of my favorite main dishes. I like roasted cooking because it is simple but looks fancy. This dish is great because you can have both protein from salmon and any other nutritious things in vegetables. The best thing to roast in foil is you can put all the smells and tastes of food into it, which makes food rich and palatable. Sake is not an alcoholic beverage but salmon, a fish kind (same pronunciation different kanji character), hoiru is foil, and yaki means any type of technique of cooking with heat in Japanese. So it is literally roasted salmon wrapped with foil.

What you put in foil with salmon is your choice. you can explore with some vegetables you like and make your own original roasted salmon in foil, I personally love mushrooms and they smell good. Here in Japan, we have lots of different kinds of mushrooms so I sometimes even put more than 2 kinds of mushrooms. Experiment with your cooking and find your unique recipe.
