Words alone can NOT describe how yummy the salmon is when cooked this way. PLUS, it is super easy. As a matter of fact, it is my most requested recipe. I LOVE making it for dinner the day that guests arrive. I can make it early in the day and pop it in the oven or on the grill and still continue catching up without missing a beat. And it only takes about 15-20 minutes to cook!

Recipe for Salmon in Foil Packets

Recipe is for 2 –
(Print option is below)

• 6-8 ounces salmon per person. Skin and bones removed
• 1 big tomato – about 1/4” slices
• 1 lemon – sliced thin – seeds removed
• 1 sweet potato or regular potato – sliced very thin
• 3/4 bag spinach
• salt and pepper
• olive oil

• Cut up all your veggies
• Cook your sliced potatoes for about 4 minutes in the microwave (or use your steam oven). This way they will be soft without over cooking the salmon
• Cut a 24” piece of aluminum foil and fold in half
• Open up the foil and coat the bottom half with a light layer of olive oil
• Lay your potatoes in the center. You will need to overlap them a bit because you want to keep the edges of the foil free from any food
• Add the tomato slices – about 2-3 per packet
• Salmon on top
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper
• Lemon slices on top of the salmon – about 2 per packet
• A TON of spinach on top of that
