Grilled Salmon Packets

Today’s recipe is not so much a recipe, but, instead, a gathering of ingredients that meet together in a tin foil packet. A few minutes on a hot grill produces a packet of summery deliciousness – lightly buttery salmon, crispy asparagus, and juicy grape tomatoes cooked just enough to break their skins without losing any of their freshness. A sprinkling of fresh dill, a slice of lemon, and a sprinkling of salt are the only accessories.

These grilled salmon packets are simple, flavorful, and 20-minute summertime dinner wonder.

7 Simple Ingredients

• Salmon
• Asparagus
• Grape Tomatoes
• Fresh Dill
• Butter
• Lemon Slices

These days I’m leaning on all the simple things in life and trying hard to avoid complexity. Easy decisions, uncomplicated situations, and low stress experiences are what I wish for every morning. Of course, it’s hard to avoid all the difficult, complicated, and stressful life stuff all day, everyday so it’s good to build in some insurance. Knowing there’s a deliciously uncomplicated and stress-free dinner waiting at night is enough to wash away the residue from some of the other stuff I have less control over.

These grilled salmon packets, with their 7 simple ingredients, are sort of like dinner time therapy.

Toss everything onto some foil, fold it up into a neat little packet and toss it on a hot grill. 8-10 minutes later gently unwrap it, breath in all the buttery fresh herb goodness, and let whatever’s gotcha down just melt away.

A glass of wine helps, too.
