Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut 4 sheets of aluminum foil, ensuring each is large enough to wrap a salmon fillet and toppings.

Step 2: Assemble the Packets

Place a salmon fillet in the center of each foil sheet.
Arrange pineapple chunks, bell pepper slices, and zucchini rounds around the salmon.
In a small bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, and olive oil.

Step 3: Add the Sauce

Drizzle the sauce mixture evenly over the salmon and vegetables.
Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Seal the Packets

Fold the foil over the salmon and vegetables, crimping the edges to seal tightly. This keeps the steam and flavors locked in!

Step 5: Bake

Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your salmon. The fish should flake easily with a fork when done.

Step 6: Serve

Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for steam).
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.

Notes

Choose Fresh Salmon: Look for fillets with vibrant color and a mild scent.
Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the salmon to prevent it from drying out.
Customize the Veggies: Swap in broccoli, snap peas, or carrots to match your preferences.
Make it on the Grill: Cook the foil packets on a preheated grill over medium heat for 12-15 minutes.
