A Reader’s Review
This is my go-to salmon recipe for my family. My husband and daughter both love it too! I love to double the butter recipe and freeze half so that I’m ready for an even faster meal!
Salmon foil packets. They are ALL the craze right now. Even though they are the perfect summer meal, I could eat these all year long. With foil packets, you can grill them, bake them, or throw them over a campfire, whatever works for you. Some of my favorite summer memories are going camping with my family and cooking foil dinners over the fire.
My Butter Garlic Herb Steak Foil Packets go viral, so I knew that this butter garlic herb compound had to be put to good use again. I mean, you can’t go wrong with butter, garlic, and fresh herbs, right?
How To Make Salmon Foil Packets
Take a close look at those perfectly cooked salmon fillets and see the buttery garlic and fresh herbs that seep inside the salmon as it cooks, making it tender and adding amazing flavor.
Garlic Herb Butter
- Combine: In a small bowl, add softened unsalted butter, freshly chopped parsley, 4 minced garlic cloves, fresh rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Salmon Packets
- Prepare Salmon Filets: Place four 18×12-inch pieces of heavy aluminum foil on the counter, then place salmon filets in the center, and then divide the garlic herb butter evenly over the top of the salmon.
- Add Veggies: Evenly place 1 bunch of asparagus, chopped into thirds, 1 chopped red pepper, 1 sliced zucchini, and 1 sliced yellow squash mixture on each piece of foil. Double-fold the top and ends of each piece of foil, leaving space for steam to gather.
- Cook: Place packets on the grill and cover. Grill or bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and veggies are tender. Carefully open packets and serve.
Salmon 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!
