Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 lemon, sliced

1 zucchini, thinly sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Aluminum foil (for packing)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Foil Packets: Cut four large pieces of aluminum foil (about 12x14 inches each) and place them on a flat surface.

      Make the Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Stir well until combined.

        Assemble the Salmon Packets: Place 1 salmon fillet in the center of each piece of foil. Drizzle each fillet with the herb mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

          Add Vegetables: Around the salmon, evenly distribute the zucchini slices and halved cherry tomatoes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.

            Top with Lemon: Place lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet for added freshness.

              Seal the Packets: Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and veggies, then fold the ends to create a well-sealed packet. Ensure there’s enough space inside the packets for steam to circulate.

                Bake the Packets: Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer them to the oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

                  Serve: Carefully open the packets (watch out for steam) and serve the salmon directly in the foil or transfer to plates. Enjoy your delicious buttery garlic herb salmon with a side of the roasted veggies!
