• 1 medium, thinly sliced Zucchini
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Red bell pepper
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes

• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic

• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 4 pieces (large enough to wrap salmon and vegetables) Foil sheets

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Prepare 4 large pieces of foil and set them aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, carrot, olive oil, garlic, half of the parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 4

Place a salmon fillet in the center of each piece of foil.

Step 5

Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the foil packets, arranging it around and slightly on top of each salmon fillet.

Step 6

Lay 2-3 slices of lemon on top of each salmon fillet.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and vegetables, sealing the edges tightly to create a packet.

Step 8

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.

Step 9

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Carefully open the foil packets, as the steam inside will be very hot.

Step 11

Garnish with the remaining fresh parsley and serve immediately.
