Salmon Ratatouille Foil Packs Food

SKINNY SALMON AND VEGETABLE FOIL-PACK DINNERS

Steps:

• Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Cut into four serving-size pieces, if necessary. Set aside. In a small saucepan cook carrots, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside. Tear off four 24-inch pieces of 18-inch-wide heavy foil. Fold each in half to make four 18x12-inch pieces.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl combine carrots, mushrooms, green onion, the 1 tablespoon oregano, garlic, orange peel, half of the salt, and half of the pepper; toss gently.
• Divide vegetables among the four pieces of foil, placing vegetables in center of each piece. Place one piece of salmon on top of each portion of vegetables. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the oil over each piece of salmon. Sprinkle each with remaining salt and pepper; top with orange slices and, if desired, a sprig of oregano. Bring together two opposite edges of foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining ends to completely enclose the food, allowing space for steam to build. Place the foil packets in a single layer on a baking pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until carrots are tender and fish begins to flake when tested with a fork. Open packets carefully to allow steam to escape. Transfer the packets to individual plates.

FOIL PACKET SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Lay the salmon skin side down on a sheet of foil. Make sure the foil is large enough to fold over into a packet.
• Drizzle with olive oil.
• Sprinkle with the lemon pepper blend (I use McCormick's).
• Fold foil into a packet and put on tray.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Check the thickest part of the salmon to see if it is opaque and flaky. It's best if the salmon is just there, but not over done. If so, take it out and let it finish cooking. If it needs a lot more, put it back in and check every 2-5 minutes.

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.

ROASTED RATATOUILLE RICE AND SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Arrange vegetables on a foil-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 tablespoons oil; bake 12 minutes.
• After vegetables have roasted 12 minutes, place salmon, skin-side-down, on another foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with remaining 1 ½ teaspoons oil, sprinkle with thyme and season to taste with salt and black pepper, if desired. Bake about 14 minutes or until salmon begins to flake with a fork. Stir vegetables when placing salmon in oven.
• Meanwhile, bring broth to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir in rice and reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Stir in the roasted vegetables and basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve with salmon.
