Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 1 large, thinly sliced lemon
- 1 medium, thinly sliced orange
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 medium, thinly sliced zucchini
- 1 cup, halved cherry tomatoes
- 4 sheets (12-inch each) aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the aluminum foil sheets on a flat surface and lightly brush the center of each sheet with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Season each salmon fillet with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Arrange 2-3 slices of lemon and 2-3 slices of orange in the center of each foil sheet. Place a salmon fillet on top of the citrus slices.
Scatter equal portions of zucchini slices and cherry tomatoes around each salmon fillet.
Sprinkle minced garlic, chopped dill, and chopped parsley evenly over each fillet and vegetables.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the salmon and vegetables.
Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and bring the edges together to create a sealed pocket, leaving some space inside for steam to circulate.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the foil packets (mind the hot steam) and serve the salmon and vegetables directly from the foil or transfer them to a plate.
