Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 cup feta cheese
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 slices lemon slices
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 sheets aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F/190°C).

Step 2

Lay out 4 large sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12x18 inches.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Place one seasoned salmon fillet in the center of each foil sheet.

Step 5

Wrap each fillet with a slice of bacon, securing the ends underneath so it stays in place.

Step 6

Slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/4 inch thick and cut the cherry tomatoes in halves.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the zucchini, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Evenly distribute the vegetable mixture around the salmon fillets on the foil sheets.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of feta cheese over the top of each salmon fillet.

Step 10

Place 2 lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet for added flavor.

Step 11

Fold the edges of the foil over each salmon fillet and seal tightly to create packets, ensuring no juices will escape.

Step 12

Place the foil packets on the preheated grill, seam side up. Close the grill and cook for 18-20 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).

Step 13

Carefully remove the packets from the grill with tongs and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before opening. Be cautious of the hot steam when unsealing the foil.

Step 14

Garnish each fillet with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve directly in the foil packets for easy cleanup!
