    grilled citrus salmon packets

    If you’re my uncle, grilling season never ends. But for some of us, it’s time to switch over to all those fall comfort foods we love! But before you go switchin’ up the menus, you’ve got to try these Grilled Citrus Salmon Packets. Enjoy this with some rice or grilled garlic bread, and some fresh veggies from the garden or farmer’s market. These days there is plenty of harvest, which typically drives down the prices at the farmer’s markets!

    Labor Day weekend food fare, perhaps?

    Grilled Citrus Salmon Packets

    Citrus and salmon are the ultimate duo and the salmon packs are superb!
    Prep Time10 minutes
    Cook Time15 minutes
    Servings - 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 4 salmon fillets, 1/4 lb. each
    • Dill weed
    • Salt and pepper
    • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
    • 1 lime, thinly sliced
    • 1 orange, thinly sliced

    Instructions

    • Place each salmon fillet in a piece of foil that is about 10 to 12 inches long or large enough to wrap around the salmon and make a packet.
    • Generously season the salmon with dill weed, salt and pepper. Top each fillet with a slice of lemon, lime and orange. Wrap the foil, creating a packet, and place on the grill.
    • Grill for 12 to 15 minutes or until salmon has cooked through. Cooking time will vary on thickness of the fillet and heat of the grill.

      Grilling isn’t possible where we live. Would baking the packets in a 450° oven for about 20 minutes work the same?

      […] Citrus Salmon, roasted broccoli, and buttered rosemary rolls – This meal was a nice change of pace for us. The kiddos aren’t big on seafood and I don’t serve it often.  The kids weren’t interested, but The Hubby and I were quite pleased.  The citrus was gorgeous and gave it such a light, bright flavor.  The rest of the plate is full of favorites.  We’ve been making these rosemary rolls and roasted broccoli for years now. The Boy even likes to help with these. The original recipe for the roasted broccoli came from Ina Garten, but I usually just use garlic, EVOO, lemon juice, and parmesan.  I never add the rest of the ingredients and we love it just like that.  We love, love, love, eating broccoli this way.  (Oh, and the mac and cheese on the plate is the Kraft Homestyle kind.  Sometimes that’s just how we roll.)
