Recipe File: Salmon and Veggie Grill Packets

I love the idea of all-in-one meals…and this simple foil packet filled with fish and veggies is a great way to maximize flavor and minimize cleanup. 

You can easily customize these packets with any seasoning or any vegetable you desire. Simple, creative and fun, this was a great meal to make on a hot weeknight-no stove required.

Ingredients:

4-6oz salmon filets 

1 lemon, sliced thinly

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp butter

sea salt and fresh ground pepper

1 yellow squash, sliced into strips

1 zucchini, sliced into strips

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 small white onion, sliced into strips

basil, capers or sun-dried tomatoes (optional)

Directions:

Heat grill for direct heat. Spray four 12x12-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray.

Place salmon filet on center of each foil piece. Arrange lemon slices over salmon. Place 1/2 tbsp butter in each packet beside salmon. Arrange a few slices each of squash, zucchini, bell pepper and onion on top of butter, beside salmon. Sprinkle salmon and veggies with salt, pepper and minced garlic as desired. Fold foil over salmon and vegetables so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. 

Cover and grill packets 10 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with fork. Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil.
