Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C) or prepare grill for medium-high heat. (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Center one-fourth of the onion slices and carrots on each sheet of non-stick foil. (5 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Top with salmon fillets. Sprinkle evenly with grated ginger, then drizzle with seasoned rice vinegar and sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. (5 minutes)

04

Step
10 mins

Bring up the sides of the foil. Double fold the top and ends to create a tightly sealed packet, ensuring enough room for heat circulation inside. Repeat this process to form four individual packets. (10 minutes)

05

Step
20 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 20 minutes on a cookie sheet, or grill for 14 to 16 minutes with the grill lid closed. (20 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Carefully open the packets (be cautious of the steam) and serve the salmon and carrots on a bed of fresh spinach leaves. For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle with additional seasoned rice vinegar if desired. (5 minutes)

For optimal results, ensure the salmon fillets are of uniform thickness to promote even cooking.
To enhance the ginger flavor, consider gently bruising the grated ginger before adding it to the salmon.
Experiment with adding a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra layer of complexity.
If you don't have non-stick foil, lightly grease the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the salmon.

    I didn't have rice vinegar, so I used lemon juice instead. It was still very good.
