Ingredients

  • 4 fillets salmon (6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 lemons sliced and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • for garnish fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F) or your oven to 400°F.
  2. Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil, each about 12 inches long.
  3. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  4. Place a salmon fillet in the center of each piece of foil. Drizzle the marinade over the salmon fillets generously.
  5. Arrange lemon slices, halved cherry tomatoes, and zucchini evenly around each salmon fillet on the foil.
  6. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and veggies to create a sealed packet. Ensure the packets are tightly sealed to keep moisture in.
  7. Place the foil packs on the grill or inside the oven. Grill for about 15-20 minutes or bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Carefully unwrap the foil packs (watch for hot steam) and transfer to plates.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

💡 Chef's Notes

Watch for hot steam when unwrapping the foil packs.
