Roasted Salmon & Veggie Packets

Fall may be right around the corner but summer is over just yet. Many of us are still looking for those healthier recipe options before transitioning into holiday comfort foods. These roasted salmon & veggie packets are not only easy to make, but they’re perfect for any meal and meal prep. I also love the fact we make them year round. There is no wrong time for salmon or fresh vegetables.

The first time we made these roasted salmon & veggie packets was about 2 years ago. We had made oven roasted seafood packets and decided to give the salmon filets a try. My husband and I both love onions and spinach. It’s one of our favorite vegetable combinations so naturally it’s the vegetables we chose for our packets. The best part is you can add whatever veggies you prefer. I personally love mushrooms and always add it to mine. From tomatoes to zucchini just add whatever your taste buds desire at the moment.

Roasted Salmon & Veggie Packet Tips:

• You can use fresh or frozen salmon filets. We use both, but more times than not use frozen because it’s easy to keep on hand. However, it must be thawed to cook correctly.
• 15 to 20 minutes is the perfect time for cooking salmon. So make sure your vegetables are sliced thin enough to cook thoroughly to your liking in that time frame.
• If you use vegetables like squash or zucchini make sure you cut them thin enough to cook all the way through.
• You can also add more than one salmon filet to a packet. Especially if you are meal prepping larger batched
• Add your own seasoning combos. The recipes I share are the seasonings and spices my family and I enjoy. Switch it up to your own liking or experiment if you aren’t sure!
