Lemon-Basil Salmon Foil Packets

Ingredients

Quantities are for 4 servings.

  • 2 lb Salmon fillets
  • 2 each Zucchini
  • 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
  • 2 each Lemon
  • 1 package Fresh basil
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (or heat an outdoor grill to medium-high). Cut four large sheets of foil, about 12x16 inches each.
  2. Slice the zucchini into half-moons and halve the cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice the garlic and one of the lemons.
  3. Divide the zucchini and tomatoes among the foil sheets, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place a salmon fillet on top of each vegetable pile, season the salmon with salt and pepper, and top each with a few garlic slices, 2-3 lemon slices, and a few basil leaves.
  4. Fold the foil up and over each packet, sealing the edges tightly so steam can't escape.
  5. Place the packets on a sheet pan (or directly on the grill grates) and bake or grill 15-18 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F internally.
  6. Carefully open the packets (steam will be hot) and finish with a squeeze of juice from the remaining lemon and a scatter of fresh basil before serving.
