Grilled Lemon Salmon Foil Packs Recipes

LEMON-DILL SALMON PACKETS

Steps:

• Prepare campfire or grill for medium heat. Spread butter in the center of each of 4 pieces of a double thickness of foil (about 12 in. square). Place 1 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., 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.

GRILLED SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium (about 375 degrees F). Line a rimmed baking sheet (large enough to hold your piece of salmon) with a large piece of aluminum foil. If you prefer your food not to touch the foil directly, lay a piece of parchment paper on top (be sure none of it pokes out when the packet is sealed).
• Lightly coat the foil with baking spray. Then, arrange a few sprigs of dill down the middle. Cut the lemons into thin slices and arrange half of the slices down the middle with the dill. Place the salmon on top.
• Drizzle the salmon with the melted butter. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Scatter the garlic over the top, then lay a few more springs of dill and the remaining lemon slices on top of the salmon. Chop a tablespoon or so of the remaining dill and reserve for serving.
• Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up and over the top of the salmon until it is completely enclosed. If your piece of foil is not large enough, place a second piece on top and fold the edges under so that it forms a sealed packet. Leave a little room inside the foil for air to circulate.
• Carefully slide the wrapped salmon onto the grill. Close the grill and grill the salmon for 14-18 minutes, until the salmon is almost completely cooked through at the thickest part. The cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your salmon side. If your piece is thinner (around 1-inch thick) check several minutes early to ensure your salmon does not overcook. If your piece is very thick (1 1/2 inches or more), it may need longer.
• Open the grill, and carefully open the foil so that the top of the fish is completely uncovered (be careful of hot steam). Close the grill, and continue grilling until the fish is cooked through completely, about 3 minutes more. Watch the salmon closely to make sure it doesn't overcook. Remove the salmon from the grill (I like to use the foil to lift it right back on top of the baking sheet). If it still appears a bit underdone, you can wrap the foil back over the top, and let it rest for a few minutes. Do not let it sit too long-salmon can progress from "not done" to "over done" very quickly. As soon as it flakes easily with a fork, it's ready.
• To serve, cut the salmon into portions. Remove the topmost sprigs of dill and discard. Sprinkle with freshly chopped dill and top with an extra squeeze of lemon as desired.

GRILLED LEMON-SALMON FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Place salmon piece on center of each sheet. Brush 1/2 tablespoon oil over both sides of each salmon piece. Sprinkle each piece with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place about 3 lemon slices flat or overlapping on each piece.
• Bring up 2 sides of foil over salmon so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.
• Place packets on grill over medium-low heat. Cover grill; cook 13 to 16 minutes, rotating packets 1/2 turn after about 7 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with fork.
• To serve, cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle with parsley.

GRILLED LEMON-PEPPER SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high (400-450 degrees F). Place 4 (12-inch) foil squares in a single layer on a work surface; coat with cooking spray. Place 1 salmon fillet, skin-side down, in the center of each. Top each fillet with 1 1/2 teaspoons butter, 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 2 lemon slices and 1 parsley sprig. Crimp the sides of each foil packet together to tightly seal. Place the packets on the grill; cover and grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes.

GRILLED SALMON FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Heat your grill.
• Place one salmon fillet onto a sheet of aluminum foil. Season it with salt and black pepper and top with 1 slice of lemon dill compound butter (see note 2) and a sprig of fresh dill. Wrap well so there are no holes. Repeat with the rest of the fillets.
• Transfer the packets onto a pre-heated grill, skin side down. Cook on medium-high (without turning) for about 12 minutes or until ready (see note 5).
• When ready, remove packets from the grill and let them cool down a bit before serving.
• Serve with a lemon wedge (optional) and side of your choice.

GRILLED SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix brown sugar, sea salt, lemon-pepper seasoning, and seasoned salt together in a container. Coat halved fillets with mixture. Place salmon on 2 to 4 aluminum foil sheets; drizzle with olive oil and liquid smoke. Fold the tops of the pieces of foil together, leaving the sides open. Tent the foil for heat circulation.
• Place foil packets on the preheated grill and cook until salmon is easily flaked with a fork, 15 to 25 minutes, opening foil during the last 5 minutes to lightly brown.

GRILLED HONEY LEMON BUTTER SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat oven to 425F.
• Place salmon on a sheet of foil (with the longer side parallel with the longer side of the sheet pan) with the skin-side down. Raise the edges of the foil up about 2 inches (or enough so that when you pour the buttery mixture over the top it will be contained in the foil).
• Nestle lemon slices underneath the salmon, spaced evenly around the fillet; set aside.
• To a microwave-safe glass measuring cup or bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the honey and lemon juice. Pour or spoon about three-quarters of the mixture over the salmon; reserve remainder.
• Evenly season salmon with salt and pepper.
• Seal up the foil. Likely you will need to add another sheet of foil on top in order to seal it. Crimp or pinch the top and bottom pieces of foil together; get it as air-tight as possible but it doesn't have to be perfect.
• If you have time, set aside to marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes (enhanced flavor).
• Place foil pack on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes, or until done.
• Optionally, if you want additional browning on the top of the salmon, set your oven to Hi broil.
• Open the foil pack or remove the top piece of foil so the salmon is exposed but keep the edges raised to contain the buttery mixture.
• Spoon the reserved buttery mixture over the salmon, if desired. Use your judgment and if there's already lots of juice you don't need to add it because you don't want it to start leaking. If you have extra buttery mixture, it's great served over the finished dish.
• Broil salmon for about 5 minutes, or until salmon is as golden as desired. Tip - You don't have to broil on the top rack, you can use the second rack, and while it will take longer, there's less chance of it burning. Keep a close eye on it because all broilers are different and you don't want the salmon to burn. Exact broiling time will depend on the size and thickness of the salmon, climate and oven variances, and personal preference.
• Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

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.
