Lemon-Dijon Grilled Salmon Foil Packet

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (4 ounces each)
• 4 tsp olive oil
• 4 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp capers (drained)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 tsp dill weed
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.125 tsp cayenne pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Place each salmon fillet on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, drained capers, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dill weed, dried thyme, salt, and cayenne pepper.

3. 3

   Spoon the herb-mustard mixture evenly over each salmon fillet.

4. 4

   Fold the foil around the fish and seal tightly to create four individual packets.

5. 5

   Grill the packets, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

6. 6

   Open the foil packets carefully to allow steam to escape before serving.

Notes

The capers provide a burst of flavor. Using heavy-duty foil is important to prevent tearing on the grill.
