Ingredients
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 zucchini thinly sliced
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 4 salmon fillets skin removed (about 4 ounces each)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray four large square pieces of aluminum foil (about 8 inches by 8 inches each) with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Divide zucchini, bell pepper and onion evenly among the four pieces of aluminum foil. Place a piece of salmon on top of the vegetables.
- Drizzle each salmon fillet with the lemon juice mixture. Seal the foil packets by folding them over the fish and pinching tightly to close. Place the foil packets on a large baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

Notes
- Pick your favorite vegetables! If you just want to use zucchini, or if you just want to use peppers and onions, that's fine -- just double or triple the quantities accordingly. You can also use chopped cabbage, sliced mushrooms, yellow summer squash, fresh spinach, or other vegetables that you enjoy.
- For a shortcut, skip the homemade lemon sauce and use a store-bought Greek vinaigrette salad dressing to drizzle over your fish and vegetables.
- Don't love salmon? Substitute with pieces of fresh cod, mahi-mahi, or your other favorite fish.
- Make sure that you tightly seal your foil packets so that none of the steam escapes while the salmon is baking.
- If you don't want to bake the salmon in the oven, you can also put these foil packets on the grill or cook them over a campfire!
