Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound salmon fillets
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Divide the broccoli florets evenly between the four foil sheets, placing them in the center of each.
- Place one salmon fillet on top of the broccoli in each packet.
- Drizzle each salmon and broccoli portion with olive oil.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic, dried dill, salt, and pepper over the salmon and broccoli.
- Top each fillet with a few thin lemon slices.
- Fold the foil over the ingredients to create a tightly sealed packet. Crimp the edges well to prevent steam from escaping.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully open the packets (watch out for hot steam) and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra zest, add a splash of white wine or soy sauce inside the packet before sealing.
- You can substitute asparagus or green beans for the broccoli.
- Make sure your foil packets are sealed completely to steam the fish perfectly.
