Salmon Packets

Salmon – not only is it very good for you, it also makes a very friendly summer dinner.  If you’re looking for an easy fish dish, you’ve come to the right place.  We’re making Salmon Packets.  All you’ll need is some salmon (or any other fish), butter, veggies, seasoning, some rice, and aluminum foil.  Oh and don’t forget to pair with a nice glass of white wine…

I loved having salmon packets as a kid.  We’d be able to pick out our own veggies and each plate would be slightly different, depending on everyone’s vegetable choices.  For this dish, we grabbed a “country vegetable medley” from the frozen vegetable isle at the store (about a dollar and change).  You can use any vegetable you’d like.  In the medley came some potatoes, snow peas, and red peppers.

Before you start the dish, make sure you take off the scales.  I was able to peel the scales off in once swoop about half way down, and then used a knife to slice the rest of it off.
