Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin-on or skinless; 2 tbsp olive oil, divided; 1 lemon, zested and sliced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning; 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional); 1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces; 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved; 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons; 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced; 1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced; 4 sprigs fresh dill; Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).
2
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season with lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub to coat evenly.
3
In a large bowl, combine asparagus, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, red onion, and bell pepper. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
4
Tear off four large pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 18x12 inches each). Divide the seasoned vegetables evenly among the center of each foil sheet to create a bed.
5
Place one seasoned salmon fillet on top of the vegetables in each packet. Top each salmon fillet with 1-2 lemon slices and a sprig of fresh dill.
6
Bring the long sides of the foil together over the salmon and vegetables and fold down tightly to create a seam. Fold up the short ends tightly to seal each packet completely, ensuring no gaps.
7
Carefully place the sealed foil packets directly on the preheated grill grates. Close the grill lid and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
8
Using tongs, carefully remove the foil packets from the grill. Let them rest for 5 minutes before carefully opening (beware of steam!).
9
Serve immediately, with an extra squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.

💡 Notes

For oven baking, preheat to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes. You can customize the vegetables to your liking; just ensure they are cut to a similar size for even cooking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
