Grilled salmon in aluminum foil, accompanied by crunchy broccoli, is the perfect choice. This recipe will not only delight your taste buds but is also healthy, rich in nutrients, and very easy to prepare. A brief history of salmon Salmon is a fish with a long-standing tradition in world cuisine. It is celebrated not only for its delicious taste but also for the nutritional benefits it brings. Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, salmon contributes to heart and brain health. Grilled, this fish develops a smoky flavor that makes it irresistible. Your ingredients for a perfect meal - 2 salmon fillets (about 150-200 g each) - 2 cloves of garlic - 1 green bell pepper (or any other color you prefer) - 2 tablespoons of olive oil (for marinating and brushing) - 1 lemon (juice) - A pinch of grated nutmeg - 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary - White pepper to taste - Sea salt or Himalayan pink salt (to taste) - 300 g frozen broccoli (or fresh, if you have it on hand) Step by step in the kitchen 1. Marinating the salmon Start by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine the juice from one lemon, olive oil, grated nutmeg, rosemary, and white pepper. Mix well. Add the salmon fillets and let them marinate for about 5 minutes. This marinade will add delicious flavor to your salmon. 2. Preparing the aluminum foil Cut two pieces of aluminum foil large enough to wrap each salmon fillet. Brush each piece of foil with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. 3. Assembling the packets Remove the salmon from the marinade and place each fillet on the prepared foil. Add a crushed garlic clove (by pressing it with your palm) and a few thin slices of green bell pepper on top. Drizzle a little of the remaining marinade over each fillet. 4. Wrapping Fold the aluminum foil to form a tight packet, ensuring that air cannot escape. This will help cook the salmon evenly and keep the juices and flavors inside. 5. Grilling Preheat the grill to medium heat. Before placing the packets on the grill, brush the surface with a little oil to prevent sticking. Place the salmon packets on the grill and let them cook for 5-8 minutes on each side. You can check if the salmon is done by gently opening it; it should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. 6. Preparing the broccoli side While the salmon is cooking, you can prepare the broccoli side. In a ceramic pan (or a regular skillet), heat a little olive oil. Add the frozen (or fresh) broccoli florets and cover the pan with a lid. This way, the broccoli will steam, retaining its vibrant color and crunchy texture. After about 5 minutes, add a pinch of nutmeg and lemon juice for extra flavor. 7. Serving Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for the steam!) and place the salmon on plates. Serve it alongside the cooked broccoli, and for extra flavor, you can drizzle everything with a bit of lemon juice. Helpful tips - Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for a more intense flavor. - Use sea salt or Himalayan pink salt for added flavor. - You can also add other vegetables on the grill, such as zucchini or carrots, to complement the meal. - If you like a spicier taste, try adding some chopped chili pepper to the marinade. Frequently asked questions - Is salmon healthy? Yes! Salmon is rich in protein and Omega-3 fatty acids, essential for heart health. - Can I use other types of fish? Sure! This recipe works well with other fish, such as trout or tuna. - What can I do if I don’t have a grill?
