How to Maximize Your Foil Packet Experience:

  • USE 100% PURE ORGANIC COCONUT MCT OIL: Instead of cooking your fish in olive oil or coconut oil, try Organic MCT Oil! MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, an essential fatty acid, that can increase metabolism, boost endurance and mood, lower cholesterol, and lower blood sugar levels. It’s a tasteless, odorless oil making it great for cooking!
  • GRILL IT OR BAKE IT: If you don’t have access to a grill, this recipe can be cooked in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400. Follow the same directions when preparing the aluminum foil packet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until salmon is opaque throughout.
  • CHOOSE YOUR FISH: Though we recommend using salmon (can you say nutritional powerhouse?!), you can swap out the salmon for halibut or cod if you prefer.
  • ADJUST YOUR SERVINGS: As is, this recipe makes four portions. However, if you're making dinner for just one or two, simply scale the ingredients for the appropriate portion size.

Ingredients

  • 4 4 oz Wild Caught Salmon Fillets

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Cut vegetables. Cut squash and dice shallots. Cut 2 lemons into thin slices.

    Lay out 4 square pieces of aluminum foil. In the middle of the foil square, add squash in a vertical line. Top with shallot and lemon slices.

    Place salmon on top of the vegetables. Rub MCT oil over salmon and season with salt and pepper. Squeeze ½ lemon over 1 salmon.

    To close, fold aluminum foil over salmon; sealing the open sides, like wrapping a gift. 

    Place on a grill or grill pan. Grill until the salmon is opaque throughout, about 7 minutes on each side. The salmon will flake with a fork when it is cooked throughout. Enjoy!
