Instructions
Making salmon foil packets is an easy, enjoyable process. Follow these simple steps to create your delicious meal:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the foil: Cut two 12-inch squares of aluminum foil and place them on a flat surface.
3. Place the salmon: In the center of each foil square, lay a salmon fillet, skin-side down.
4. Add vegetables: Surround the salmon with cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and bell pepper slices.
5. Season: Drizzle olive oil over all ingredients. Sprinkle minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper evenly across the packets.
6. Add lemon juice: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon and vegetables to brighten up the flavors.
7. Seal the packets: Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and vegetables, then fold the ends to create a sealed packet.
8. Cook: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet or directly on the grill. If baking, cook for 15-20 minutes. If grilling, cook for about 10-15 minutes. Check for doneness; salmon should flake easily with a fork.
9. Open with care: Once cooked, remove the packets from the heat. Be cautious of steam as you open them to release the delicious aroma.
These straightforward steps will guide you to prepare salmon foil packets that are incredibly satisfying and full of flavor!
