Lemon-Dill Salmon Packets

Dinner

Grilling in foil is an easy technique I use with foods that cook quickly, like fish, shrimp, bite-sized meats and fresh veggies. The options are endless—and the cleanup is easy.

Average Rating: 5

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 4 servings.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter, softened
4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 medium onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, sliced
4 fresh dill sprigs
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
1 medium lemon, sliced

Instructions

1. Prepare campfire or grill for medium heat. Spread butter in the center of each of four pieces of a double thickness of foil (about 12 in. square). Place one salmon fillet in the center of each; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with onion, garlic, dill, basil and lemon. Fold foil around fillets; seal.
2. Place packets on a grill grate over a campfire or grill. Cook until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 8-10 minutes. Open carefully to allow steam to escape.
