Loving foil packs this summer? Try Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packs, Lemon Herb Shrimp and Broccoli Foil Packs, and Herb Butter Salmon and Asparagus Foil Packs.
It is easy, it is incredibly delicious in every way, and it is ready in about 30 minutes with nothing to clean up but a few pieces of foil to toss in the garbage and one little bowl to rinse out. In other words it is everything I dream of in a quick and simple meal with minimal ingredients and maximum flavor.
What Size of Salmon Fillets Should I Use?
When making these foil packs, it is best to use 4-6 ounce fillets so that they will cook in the same amount of time as the shrimp. If you use pieces of salmon that are too large the salmon won’t be quite finished by the time your shrimp is pink and ready to go. If you are using large shrimp as the recipe calls for, it will take about 12-15 minutes to get them cooked all the way through and not be rubbery, which is just enough time for your 4-6 ounce salmon fillet to be cooked through and perfectly flaky. Perfection!
Can Salmon Foil Packs be Baked?
Yes! If you like you can bake these foil packs instead of grilling them.
How long should I bake them for and at what temperature?
I’ve gotten the best results by setting the foil packs directly on the metal racks in the oven, and baking for about 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees. For a little added color and flavor, I like to open the packs a couple of minutes early and switch the oven to BROIL for the last 2 minutes or so.
