Recipe: Lemon-Garlic Salmon Foil Pack with Green Beans and New Potatoes
Salmon has never been easier to cook, wrapped up in a packet to bake in the oven. As a bonus, crunchy green beans and garlicky potato slices are added for a complete meal.
Serves:
4Prep Time:
30 minutesCook Time:
20 minutesINGREDIENTS
- 1 pound new potatoes
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 pound green beans, ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 six-ounce skinless salmon filets
- 1 to 2 lemons, sliced into wheels
DIRECTIONS
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Make four sheets of aluminum foil about 30 inches long. Fold the foil in half widthwise (into almost a square) so it’s extra sturdy.
-
Cut each potato into half lengthwise. Thinly cut each half into ?-inch slices and place into a heatproof container. Stir in the minced garlic, cover and cook the potatoes in the microwave until halfway tender, around 90 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on microwave’s power. Transfer mixture to a bowl, along with green beans, oil, salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
-
Divide potato mixture into 4 equal portions and place in the center of each foil square. If possible, nudge green beans to face the same direction. Top each portion with a salmon fillet, aligning with green beans for easier folding. Top with 2 lemon wheels.
-
Securely seal the top and sides of each foil packet. Place each packet onto a large baking sheet and put in oven. Cook until salmon is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
-
Remove from oven and place each foil packet onto a plate. Carefully open each packet to serve.
