Grilled Salmon in Foil AKA Gourmet Salmon

Grilled Salmon in foil is a simple way to make healthy delicious food when camping. Add a pack of foil wrapped veggies and in less than 20 minutes dinner is on the table. I was tempted to name this dish gourmet salmon but decided against it because I didn’t want the dish to seem too fussy. One taste of the Grilled Foil Wrapped Salmon will have you thinking gourmet all packaged up in a pretty foil wrapper.

Grilled Salmon in Foil AKA Gourmet Salmon

No fussing with this dish, it is simple and straightforward. Prepare rectangles of heavy duty foil to wrap the salmon in. I tend to use double foil to make sure all the delightful juices stay put to keep the salmon moist and flavorful.

Ingredients

1 large piece of salmon, preferably wild caught
1 lemon, sliced
1 small onion, sliced
Favorite seasoning Rub ( I used Trader Joe’s BBQ Rub and Seasonings with Coffee and Garlic…link below)

Instructions

Heat Grill.
Place onion and lemon slices in the center of a rectangle of heavy duty foil wrap.
Rub salmon generously with favorite seasoning rub.
Place salmon on top of onion and lemon slices.
Cover all with additional rectangle of foil and seal up tightly.
Add a second layer of heavy duty foil wrap if preferred.
Place fish on grill for 7 -10 minutes (depending on thickness of fish. Turning once during cook time.
Remove from heat. Carefully cut foil to expose fish. Juices will be extremely hot and the steam can burn so take precautions to prevent a burn.

Grilled Snap Peas and Soy Ginger Sauce

July 3, 2014 by Shari Eckstrom 55 Comments

I’ve never met a pea I didn’t like, but Grilled Sugar Snap Peas and Soy Ginger Sauce take the game to a whole new level!

I was looking for something a little out of the ordinary when I put together this recipe for Grilled Snap Peas and Soy Ginger Sauce. I fired up the grill and knew right where I was headed with those plump and succulent sugar snap peas. This was going to be a snap! No pun intended.

And it was! Honey, ginger, garlic, and orange zest seasoned up the Soy Ginger Sauce perfectly. The Grilled Snap Peas looked amazing as they cooked on the grill; black sesame seeds left the peas smelling nutty and delicious. Here’s where everything went slightly awry.

My plan was to plate the peas edamame style and use the Soy Ginger Sauce for dipping those fat little morsels into. Problem was the sauce was to thin. I couldn’t get enough of that delicious sauce on the Grilled Snap Peas. A change of plans was called for. The Grilled Snap Peas were placed in a bowl and that delectable sauce was poured on top. A few tosses of those luscious snap peas was all it took. A masterpiece in a bowl!

I am ashamed to admit, I sat there and ate that whole bowlful of Grilled Sugar Snap Peas. I couldn’t help myself. I was like a woman on a mission, nothing would deter me. Do I regret it? Nope, not one little bit!

Grilled Snap Peas and Soy Ginger Sauce

The beauty of this recipe is the Grilled Snap Peas can be served hot, warm, or cold. Once the peas come off of the grill, put in a bowl and pour on the sauce. The peas can be served immediately or chilled at this point. Delicious and addictive either way! The Soy Ginger Sauce makes more than you may need for this recipe,but can be saved for a delicious salad dressing or marinade for another day.

Ingredients

1 Pound Sugar Snap Peas, washed with strings removed along the seams.
1½ tsp olive oil
1 tbsp black sesame seeds
1 tsp sesame oil, divided
½ cup soy sauce, low sodium preferred
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp grated orange rind
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tbsp green onion, chopped

Instructions

Place a sheet of aluminum foil on grill to place peas on and heat grill.
Place snap peas, olive oil, ½ tsp sesame oil and black sesame seeds in a bowl. Toss ingredients to coat peas with oil and sesame seeds.
Place remaining ingredients in a small jar with a lid, (or small bowl) and shake (or whisk) to incorporate all ingredients together.Set aside.
Place peas on aluminum foil over hot grill. No need to be too perfect here with placement of the peas on the grill. Use a pair of tongs to turn the peas as necessary until peas begin to get slightly charred and turn a bright green. (about 5-6 minutes)
Remove peas from grill and place in a serving bowl.
Shake (or whisk) your Soy Ginger Sauce to mix and pour over Snap Peas. Toss and serve or chill as desired.
