Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skin-on or skin-off salmon fillets; 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 1 lemon, zested and sliced into rounds; 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped; 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste; 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced or cut into half-moons; 1 medium yellow squash, thinly sliced or cut into half-moons; 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced; 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced; 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced; 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
2
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir in the chopped fresh dill or parsley. Set aside.
3
Prepare four large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each about 18x12 inches.
4
Divide the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, red onion, and corn evenly among the four foil pieces, centering them on each piece.
5
Place one salmon fillet on top of the vegetables in each foil packet. Season the salmon lightly with additional salt and pepper.
6
Spoon about one-quarter of the garlic herb butter mixture evenly over each salmon fillet and the surrounding vegetables.
7
Top each salmon fillet with 2-3 lemon slices.
8
Bring the two long sides of the foil together over the salmon and fold them down tightly to create a sealed seam. Then, fold up the shorter ends of the foil tightly to seal the packet completely.
9
Carefully transfer the sealed foil packets to the preheated grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (Cooking time may vary based on salmon thickness and grill temperature.)
10
Remove the packets from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before carefully opening (beware of hot steam). Serve directly from the foil or transfer to plates. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.

💡 Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter. If you don't have a grill, you can bake these packets in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 15-20 minutes. These packets can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
