Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or lemon juice
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat or oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare large sheets of aluminum foil and lightly coat the center of each with olive oil.
  3. Place a portion of cooked rice in the center of each foil sheet. Top with garlic, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion.
  4. Lay a salmon fillet over the vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and soy sauce or lemon juice, then season with salt and black pepper.
  5. Top with lemon slices and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
  6. Fold the foil over the ingredients and seal tightly to form packets.
  7. Place foil packs on the grill or in the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
  8. Carefully open the packets, watching for steam, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Substitute salmon with cod, tilapia, or another white fish.
  • Add vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, or snap peas for variety.
  • Use brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.
  • Add a pat of butter or drizzle of teriyaki sauce for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of water or broth to keep rice moist.
