Mediterranean Salmon Foil Packets With Lentils Recipes

GRILLED MEDITERRANEAN SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Close cover.
• Combine cherry tomatoes, olive oil, shallot, tapenade, salt, basil, thyme, and pepper in a bowl; mix well.
• Lay out foil on a work surface, shiny side-up. Place each salmon fillet skin side-down in the center of a piece of foil. Cover each piece of salmon with 1/4 of the cherry tomato mixture. Fold up the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a parcel, making sure to seal the edges well.
• Turn down the heat of the grill and carefully place the foil parcels on the grate. Close the cover and cook until salmon is pale pink in the center and flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove parcels and let them sit for a few minutes before opening.

MEDITERRANEAN SALMON FOIL PACKETS

Steps:

• Prepare outdoor grill for covered direct grilling over medium-high heat.
• Trim ends from yellow squash and zucchini. With vegetable peeler, peel squash and zucchini lengthwise into long thin ribbons.
• Transfer ribbons to a foil cooking bag. (Or, place two 30" by 18" sheets heavy-duty foil on work surface to make a double thickness.).
• Sprinkle tomatoes, olives, basil, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt over squash and zucchini ribbons. Sprinkle lemon peel and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt over salmon.
• Place salmon on top of squash mixture; seal bag. (Or, if using foil, bring long sides of foil up and over salmon; fold several times to seal well, then fold in ends to seal tightly.).
• Place foil packet on grill rack. Cover grill and cook 12 minutes.
• When salmon is done, cut an X in top of foil packet to let steam escape, then carefully pull back foil to open.
• Slide vegetables and salmon onto 4 dinner plates to serve. Top with feta cheese as desired.
