Foil-Baked Salmon With Zucchini And Tomatoes

Individual foil packets with salmon, zucchini and cherry tomatoes — hands-off baking that keeps flavors fresh and light.

Ingredients

• 2 Salmon Fillets (140–160 g each)
• 1 Medium Zucchini, sliced into half-moons
• 12 Cherry Tomatoes, halved
• 1 Small Red Pepper, sliced (optional)
• 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 Tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
• 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
• Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Tear two large sheets of foil.
• Divide zucchini, tomatoes, and red pepper between foil sheets; drizzle 1/2 tsp oil and season lightly.
• Place a salmon fillet on each bed of vegetables, drizzle remaining oil and lemon juice, sprinkle basil, salt and pepper.
• Fold foil into packets and bake 12–15 minutes until salmon is cooked through and vegetables tender.
• Open carefully and serve directly from packets or onto plates.

Notes

• Minimal cleanup and gentle steam keeps salmon moist without much fat.
• Swap basil for parsley if preferred.
• Good for meal prep; reheat gently in oven.
