Best 5 Salmon And Vegetables In Foil Recipes

SALMON AND TOMATOES IN FOIL

Steps:

• For each of 4 packages, place one 12-inch-long sheet of aluminum foil on top of another. Smear top sheet with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, and layer a fillet of salmon, 6 tomato halves, salt and pepper, 4 basil leaves and another half tablespoon oil. Seal package by folding foil onto itself and crimping edges tightly. Repeat to make other packages, and refrigerate until ready to cook, no more than 24 hours later.
• When you are ready to cook, heat oven to 500 degrees. Place packages in a roasting pan. (Or they can be cooked on top of the stove in 2 skillets over medium-high heat.) Cook 5 minutes (for medium-rare) to 8 minutes from the time the mixture starts to sizzle, or roughly 10 to 12 minutes total.
• Let packages rest a minute, and cut a slit along the top with a knife. Use a knife and fork to open the package. Spoon the salmon, garnish and juices onto a plate, and serve.

BAKED SALMON FOIL PACKETS WITH VEGETABLES (+ GRILL OPTION!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C), or preheat the grill to medium.
• Lay out 4 large squares of foil (at least 12x12 inches (30x30 cm)). Place a salmon fillet in the center of each piece of foil. Divide the veggies evenly among the foil around the salmon.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley and dill.
• Use about half of the oil mixture to brush the salmon, getting most of the garlic onto the salmon. Pour the remaining oil mixture evenly over the veggies. Lightly sprinkle more salt and pepper over the salmon and veggies.
• Fold the foil over and seal shut to form packets. Place onto a baking sheet.
• Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or grill (covered) for 13-18 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork or is done to your liking.

SKINNY SALMON AND VEGETABLE FOIL-PACK DINNERS

Steps:

• Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut into four serving-size pieces, if necessary. Set aside. In a small saucepan cook carrots, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside. Tear off four 24-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy foil. Fold each in half to make four 18x12-inch pieces.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl combine carrots, mushrooms, green onion, the 1 tablespoon oregano, garlic, orange peel, half of the salt, and half of the pepper; toss gently.
• Divide vegetables among the four pieces of foil, placing vegetables in center of each piece. Place one piece of salmon on top of each portion of vegetables. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the oil over each piece of salmon. Sprinkle each with remaining salt and pepper; top with orange slices and, if desired, a sprig of oregano. Bring together two opposite edges of foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining ends to completely enclose the food, allowing space for steam to build. Place the foil packets in a single layer on a baking pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until carrots are tender and fish begins to flake when tested with a fork. Open packets carefully to allow steam to escape. Transfer the packets to individual plates.

SALMON AND VEGETABLES IN FOIL

Steps:

• Cut four sheets of foil; place fillet on each sheet, slightly off center.
• Sprinkle each with lemon juice, ginger, herbs, and salt and pepper; drizzle with olive oil.
• Divide potatoes, peas, carrot, and zucchini among foil sheets.
• Fold foil over to form a rectangle, and crimp all edges tightly.
• Bake on baking sheet at 400 for 15 minutes or until fish is just cooked through; garnish with parsley.

BAKED SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine 1/2 cup olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
• Place a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Place salmon in the middle of the foil, skin-side down. Drizzle with olive oil mixture. Fold up the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet, making sure to seal the edges.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. If your salmon fillet is very thick, it can take longer. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
