Garlic-Ginger Salmon Packets

Yield: 4 servings
Prep: 20 min
Cook: 15 min

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons grated lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Place each salmon fillet on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Combine the ginger, cilantro, garlic and zests; spoon over salmon.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, soy sauce and pepper; drizzle over salmon. Fold foil around fish and seal tightly.
  3. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
