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.

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.

    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!
