Grilling Salmon: 3 Delicious Ideas

Grilling salmon is a delicious way to prepare delicate fish. It stays juicy, gets a subtle smoke aroma, and can fully develop its taste.

Grilled salmon with vegetables in a packet

The surprise packages with salmon taste sophisticated and look great. The ingredients are enough for four servings.

• Ingredients: 2 tomatoes, 1 leek, 1 carrot, 1 zucchini, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 salmon fillets, salt, pepper, fresh coriander, and 1 chili pepper. If you don’t like cilantro and chili, you can also omit these ingredients.
• Cut the tomatoes and zucchini into bite-sized cubes and the white part of the leeks into rings. Then peel the carrot and cut it into fine strips.
• Prepare a marinade using lemon juice, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and chili.
• Place each fish fillet on a generously sized piece of aluminum foil. Spread the vegetables and the marinade on top.
• Do not seal the salmon packets too tightly and twist the ends like candy. Then place them on the grill for 15 minutes.
• Open the salmon packets and serve with fresh coriander.
