SALMON & VEGGIES IN TIN FOIL PACKETS

I made this for a girls night a few weeks ago & It was perfect! I made the packets earlier in the day & popped them in the oven when my friends arrived. This gave me time to actually hang out with them and not spend all my time cooking. The foil packs are great for easy clean up. Didn't waste time washing dishes, either. Presentation was impressive & the smell of dill when they were finished cooking was incredible. I can't wait to make these again! Next time I might try spreading some pesto on top of the salmon :)

SALMON & VEGGIES IN TIN FOIL PACKETS

-1 lb Salmon Filets 
-1 bundle of Asparagus (cleaned)
-Grape Tomatoes (about 5 for each packet)
-5 Garlic Cloves, minced
-1 Lemon, sliced thin
-Olive Oil 
-Butter
-Fresh Dill
-Salt & Pepper
-White Wine
-Tin Foil

DIRECTIONS:

(preheat the oven to 400 degrees) 

1. Cut off enough tin foil to be able to seal the fish & vegetables in it.

2. Spread a thin layer of butter on the bottom of the packet. Top with garlic, salt & pepper.

3. Place vegetables on top of the seasoned butter, place the salmon on top of the vegetables.

4. Lightly drizzle the salmon with olive oil. Salt & Pepper the salmon to your liking. 

5. Add at least two slices of lemon on top of the salmon. Add two sprigs of dill to the top of the salmon.

6. Semi close the tin foil packets- then add a splash of white wine. After the wine is added, close and seal the packets as best and tight as you can.

7. Bake on a baking sheet for 20/25 minutes. Depending on the thickness of the fish.

(Sent my sister in law home with a "to go" packet to bake at home)

* My sister in law baked hers at home for 25 min. I baked mine for 20 min. Her tomatoes came out more stewed then mine. Totally about preference here. The dish will be done after 20-but if you like, wait it just a little longer. Be careful not to overcook the fish, though.
