Salmon in foil packets is the easiest baked salmon recipe! With mushrooms and snow peas, this family-friendly dinner is healthy & delicious.

📝 Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon (4 fillets, approximately 4-6 oz. each)
  • 2 cups fresh snow peas
  • 2 cups baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (about half a lemon)
  • 3 tablespoons coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (or olive oil)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (white or black)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions (sliced)
  • 1/2 lemon (cut into slices)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Make the marinade: Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, juice of half of the lemon, coconut aminos, salt, and pepper.
  2. 2--- Prepare the Foil Packets ---
  3. 3Slice the mushrooms and green onions and set them aside. Slice the other half of the lemon into rounds.
  4. 4Lay out four large sheets of tin foil. Divide the snow peas and sliced mushrooms between them, laying a small pile of veggies in the center of each piece of tin foil. Place one fillet of fish on each and lay a slice of lemon on top of it. Pull the sides of the foil up a bit, and gently press only two of the the ends together.
  5. 5Pour the marinade mixture onto each fish, coating the top & bottom. Close the foil, sealing it on the top and sides fully, and let it marinate for about an hour.
  6. 6Preheat oven to 375℉. Place the fish packets on a rimmed sheet pan and bake for about 18-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. Open the foil and use a fork to check for doneness (the fish should flake easily). Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and lemon slices, if desired. Serve while fish is warm.
