Grilled Salmon in Foil With Herby Garlic Butter image

This easy grilled salmon in foil recipe is totally foolproof, resulting in flaky fish with a garlic-herb butter sauce. And did we mention cleanup is a breeze?

Provided by Rachel Gurjar

Time 36m

Yield 2 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Tbsp. honey
1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
2 Tbsp. finely chopped dill, plus more for serving
1 (1 lb.) boneless salmon fillet, preferably skin-on
4 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, divided

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. Whisk 1 Tbsp. honey, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest in a small bowl to combine. Add 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped, 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, and 2 Tbsp. finely chopped dill and whisk again to combine (some lemon zest may remain separate and that's okay).
  • Tear off a large piece of foil according to the length and thickness of salmon (15x15" or larger) and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place one 1 lb. boneless salmon fillet, preferably skin-on, arranging skin side down if skin is on, in center of foil (the skin will stick slightly to foil and brown while the fish cooks; you want this as it will add to the sauce). Spread garlic butter over fish, then drizzle 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice on top. Carefully fold one side of foil up and over fish so lemon juice stays contained, then bring other sides up to meet it and fold together to seal, leaving about a 4" opening on top for steam to escape (this will help sauce reduce a bit).
  • Place foil packet on grate and grill fish until opaque throughout and firm, 16-20 minutes. Transfer packet to a cutting board and let fish rest 5 minutes.
  • Carefully open foil packet and cut fish in half. Transfer to plates; pour juices from packet over. Drizzle fish with remaining 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, dividing evenly, and top with more finely chopped dill.

Tips for Perfect Grilled Seafood Foil Packs with Lemon Chive Butter

1. Choose fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better it will taste. Look for seafood that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell. 2. Use good quality butter: The butter will add flavor and richness to the seafood, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Unsalted butter is best so you can control the amount of salt in the dish. 3. Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so it's important to be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and rubbery. 4. Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to the foil packs. Choose vegetables that cook quickly, such as zucchini, tomatoes, and bell peppers. 5. Season the foil packs well: Don't be afraid to season the foil packs generously with salt, pepper, and herbs. This will help to bring out the natural flavors of the seafood and vegetables. 6. Close the foil packs tightly: It's important to close the foil packs tightly so that the steam can circulate and cook the food evenly. 7. Cook the foil packs over medium heat: Medium heat will help to prevent the seafood from overcooking. 8. Let the foil packs rest before opening: Once the foil packs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before opening. This will help the juices to redistribute and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion

Grilled seafood foil packs with lemon chive butter are a quick, easy, and delicious way to cook seafood. They're perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and healthy meal that everyone will love.
