Foil packets. They are ALL the craze right now. Even though they are the perfect summer meal, I could eat these all year long. The great thing about foil packets is that they can be grilled, baked, or cooked over a campfire. Some of my favorite summer memories are going camping with my family and cooking foil dinners over the fire.
Since making these Butter Garlic Herb Steak Foil Packets and having them go viral, I knew that this butter garlic herb compound had to be to put to good use again. I mean you can’t go wrong with butter, garlic and fresh herbs right?
I mean take a close look at those perfectly cooked salmon fillets and see the buttery garlic and fresh herbs that just seep inside the salmon as it cooks and makes it tender and adds just amazing flavor. The summer veggies were also perfect cooked with the salmon and makes it the perfect meal in one.
Foil packets not only make for easy clean up, but they are the perfect and hearty meal in one. I love salmon and fresh veggies because they make for a light and healthy meal. These also make for good meal prep too! SO many different ways that you can enjoy these tasty salmon packets.
I honestly can’t wait for you to try this version of foil packets. They make such an amazing meal and have such great flavors, you will be craving them all summer long!

This recipe is excellent!! I made it last night, and served it with rice. The only change was I added a couple shakes of red pepper flakes to the herb butter, because my husband likes everything with a little kick to it. Everything was cooked to perfection in 20 minutes and was very tasty. I’ll definitely add this to my recipe collection!
Another winner, so easy and tasty! Love the versatility as pretty much any fresh veggies on hand can be used. Thanks for the recipe!
