Grilled Salmon in a Foil Pack
This simple salmon foil pack will inspire you to grill all year round. Instead of four smaller fillets, we cook a big piece and split it up. The lemon, onion, garlic and butter come together to make the perfect sauce.
- Level: Easy
- Total: 30 min
- Active: 15 min
- Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
1 red onion, halved lengthwise and very thinly sliced
1 lemon, very thinly sliced, seeds removed
1 clove garlic, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 1 1/2-pound piece center-cut skinless salmon fillet
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
Directions
- 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.
