Salmon Foil packs are the new thing in our household and I’m loving every minute of it. SO easy and SO delicious.
These Dijon Tarragon Salmon and Veggie foil packs are coming in hot in our household, and I have no plan to stop anytime soon. Throw everything in foil, wrap it up, and bake it? Hells yes, that sounds easy enough. Not to mention, incredibly delicious. Cooking the salmon in the foil makes it so perfectly juicy- we’re not about dry salmon over here and this is anything BUT that.
To start, cut two 18 x 12 pieces of foil and place them onto your counter. Then, put a fillet of salmon into the center of each one and place the veggies to one side. Drizzle everything with olive oil, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dijon tarragon sauce and spread all over the tops of the salmon. Then add garlic, parmesan, and capers to the veggies. Wrap up each foil pack, making sure to pinch the sides so that the juices don’t escape. Bake for 20-25 minutes and dinner is ready! Literally so easy and so good!
We are big big fans of Dijon mustard in our house! Alessandro’s mom is French and has so many amazing uses for it, so I’ve really grown accustomed to using it almost daily. The Dijon Mustard she introduced us to is the real deal. It’s called Amora and comes straight from France- it’s better than all others I’ve tried! You can get it on Amazon and it lasts awhile! We always buy the two pack because we know it won’t ever go to waste. Highly, highly recommend.
