Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. Cut a large piece of aluminum foil to create a packet for the salmon and vegetables.
  3. Place the skinless salmon fillet in the center of the foil piece.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salmon fillet.
  5. Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped fresh cilantro leaves on top of the salmon.
  6. Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the salmon and cilantro.
  7. Season the salmon with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.
  8. Arrange the sliced red bell pepper and sliced zucchini around the salmon on the foil.
  9. Fold the foil over the salmon and vegetables to create a sealed packet, making sure it is tightly closed to keep steam inside.
  10. Place the foil packet on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  11. Carefully open the foil packet to avoid steam burns and serve the salmon with the cooked vegetables.

Tips

  • Do not overcook the salmon to keep it moist.
