Description

This Mediterranean-inspired dish features tender, boneless salmon fillets cooked in a foil packet with fresh herbs and lemon. The fish is paired with a chunky, flavorful salsa made from sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, garlic, and basil. The combination of smoky grilled fish and the bright, tangy salsa creates a perfect balance of textures and flavors. It is a quick and elegant meal suitable for weeknight dinners or light summer gatherings. The simplicity of the preparation allows the high-quality ingredients to shine, resulting in a satisfying and healthy main course that is easy to prepare and even easier to enjoy.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Tear a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and lightly oil one side.
  3. Place salmon fillets on the oiled side of the foil.
  4. Drizzle salmon with lemon juice and remaining olive oil.
  5. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs (dill, tarragon, mint, or thyme), salt, and freshly ground pepper.
  6. Fold the foil over the salmon to create a sealed packet, ensuring no steam escapes.
  7. Place the foil packets on the grill and close the lid.
  8. Grill for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  9. While the salmon cooks, prepare the salsa by combining sun-dried tomatoes, chopped black olives, minced garlic, and chopped fresh basil in a bowl.
  10. Stir olive oil and balsamic vinegar into the tomato mixture until well combined.
  11. Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill and open them away from your face to avoid steam.
  12. Slide the cooked salmon onto serving plates and top generously with the sun-dried tomato salsa.
