Salmon Foil Packets
Description
This recipe assembles individual foil packets containing salmon fillets paired with fresh asparagus spears, fresh corn kernels sliced from ears, and chunks of red bell pepper. A seasoned butter mixture with garlic, fresh herbs like thyme and parsley, and lemon zest is spooned over the salmon and vegetables before sealing the foil. The packets are cooked either on a grill at medium heat or in an oven at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the ingredients to steam in their own juices and butter, retaining moisture and flavor.
The resulting salmon is tender and well-seasoned, complemented by the slightly softened but still vibrant vegetables. Lemon wedges and freshly chopped parsley served alongside add brightness and freshness to each portion. This approach offers a tidy, hands-off cooking experience that melds simple ingredients into a harmonious meal.
