This healthy Greek-inspired salmon recipe is the perfect healthy dinner recipe, ready in just 30 minutes! Salmon baked in foil is the perfect solution for a quick-prep, zero clean up meal.
Divide zucchini, bell pepper and onion evenly among the four pieces of aluminum foil. Place a piece of salmon on top of the vegetables.
1 zucchini, 1 onion, 1 red bell pepper
Drizzle each salmon fillet with the lemon juice mixture. Seal the foil packets by folding them over the fish and pinching tightly to close. Place the foil packets on a large baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
4 salmon fillets
Notes
Pick your favorite vegetables! If you just want to use zucchini, or if you just want to use peppers and onions, that's fine -- just double or triple the quantities accordingly. You can also use chopped cabbage, sliced mushrooms, yellow summer squash, fresh spinach, or other vegetables that you enjoy.
For a shortcut, skip the homemade lemon sauce and use a store-bought Greek vinaigrette salad dressing to drizzle over your fish and vegetables.
Don't love salmon? Substitute with pieces of fresh cod, mahi-mahi, or your other favorite fish.
Make sure that you tightly seal your foil packets so that none of the steam escapes while the salmon is baking.
If you don't want to bake the salmon in the oven, you can also put these foil packets on the grill or cook them over a campfire!
