Summer is all about simple and no stress kind of meals so foil packet dinners have been happening a lot around here.

You can’t beat how easy they are to throw together. Plus – no pans to scrub, no dishes to wash and totally customizable with whatever veggies you have on hand.

And although they are tasty all year round, they are especially fun for Summer when you’re out grilling in the backyard, or camping.

These Teriyaki Salmon Foil Packets are our latest favorite. They have all the delicious flavors of a classic teriyaki stir-fry….but with hardly any clean up!

You can toss them on the grill while you’re camping or cook them in the oven on a busy weeknight.

Teriyaki Salmon Foil Packets

These foil packets start off with an easy homemade teriyaki sauce. It requires just a handful of ingredients and is ready in minutes. However, you can totally use your favorite store-bought version in a pinch.

Divide the salmon onto four 18 x 12 sheets of foil (you can also add a layer of parchment paper inside the foil if you prefer using parchment paper instead).

Arrange your favorite veggies around the fish and drizzle with the sweet and savory teriyaki sauce.

Finally, wrap up in foil and bake or grill until tender and flaky. Serve with some rice, quinoa or your favorite sides with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and green onions.

6. Drizzle the salmon and vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Fold the foil over the salmon and seal to close off the packets.
9. If cooking on the grill
10. Place foil packets onto grill and grill for 6 minutes, then flip over and grill for an additional 3-6 minutes (depending on the thickness of the salmon) or until salmon is flaky.
11. Remove from the grill and carefully open the foil packets.
12. If cooking in the oven Place foil packets on a baking sheet and cook for 12-18 minutes (rotating tray once). Time varies depending on the thickness of the salmon. Remove baking sheet from oven.
13. Brush salmon with reserved sauce and top with sesame seeds and green onions (if desired) and serve immediately with quinoa, rice or your favorite side.

Recipe Notes
