Chicken Or Salmon Foil Packs Food

FOIL-PACKET SALMON WITH MUSHROOMS AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Lay out four 18-inch-long sheets of heavy-duty foil. Mound 1/2 cup mushrooms and 1 cup spinach in the center of each; season with salt and pepper. Top each with a salmon fillet, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon wine (or water). Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to form a packet, leaving room inside for steam.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the foil packets until the fish is just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, you can bake the foil packets in a 450˚ F oven until the fish is just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.) Let the packets sit 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, scallions, ginger, sesame oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mini food processor. Pulse until smooth. Carefully open the foil packets. Top with the flavored butter.

SALMON BAKED IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle salmon with 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir the tomatoes, shallots, 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.
• Place a salmon fillet, oiled side down, atop a sheet of foil. Wrap the ends of the foil to form a spiral shape. Spoon the tomato mixture over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and tomato mixture, covering completely; seal the packets closed. Place the foil packet on a heavy large baking sheet. Repeat until all of the salmon have been individually wrapped in foil and placed on the baking sheet. Bake until the salmon is just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Using a large metal spatula, transfer the foil packets to plates and serve.

SALMON FOIL-PACK DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Set out 2 large squares of foil, nonstick side up, one on top of the other. Layer sweet potato, zucchini, and squash in the middle of the top sheet, seasoning each layer with mesquite seasoning. Place salmon filet on top. Fold over the foil to seal the packet tightly.
• Bake in preheated oven until vegetables are tender and fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED SALMON IN A FOIL PACK

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Toss the onion, lemon and garlic with a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Spread the mixture in the center of a 24-inch-long piece of heavy-duty foil. Put the salmon on top of the onion mixture, drizzle with the butter and sprinkle with the Italian seasoning and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Bring the 2 long sides of foil together and fold over twice to seal. Bring the ends of the foil in and crimp to seal, leaving a bit of room for steam to circulate inside.
• Place the packet on the grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Careful of the steam, open the packet and check the salmon. It should be mostly opaque with a slightly rosy center. Transfer the package to a cutting board and set aside for about 5 minutes.
• Cut the salmon into 4 equal pieces and transfer to 4 plates. Evenly spoon the onions, lemons and collected juices over the salmon.
