Lemon and Herb Salmon Packets
  • PREP TIME

  • SERVINGS

    4

 

2
cups uncooked instant rice
1
can (14 ounces) fat-free or low sodium chicken broth
1
cup matchstick-cut carrots (from 10-ounce bag)
4
salmon fillets (4 to 6 ounces each)
1
teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning salt
1/3
cup chopped fresh chives
1
medium lemon, cut lengthwise in half, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Spray four 18x12-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray.
  • 2 Mix rice and broth in medium bowl. Let stand about 5 minutes or until most of broth is absorbed. Stir in carrots.
  • 3 Place salmon fillet on center of each foil sheet. Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning salt; top with chives. Arrange lemon slices over salmon. Spoon rice mixture around each fillet. Fold foil over salmon and rice so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion.
  • 4 Cover and grill packets 4 to 6 inches from low heat 11 to 14 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with fork. Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape.

Expert Tips

“As I’m getting older, I find it’s important to adjust my attitude about exercise. Even if I can’t work out at the same level that I used to, I tell myself that any exercise is better than being sedentary. It’s okay to walk rather than run.” Cindy L.

Salmon has been getting a lot of attention lately, because it contains a fat that has heart-protective benefits, Omega-3 fatty acids. Though it’s important to keep the amount of saturated fat you eat low, some fats are better for you than others, and Omega-3 is definitely one you’ll want to eat more of, so include salmon in your diet.
