Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., sliced zucchini, bell peppers, red onion)
- Aluminum foil sheets (heavy duty)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F).
- Tear off four large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, adobo sauce, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create the honey chipotle glaze.
- Lightly brush the salmon fillets with olive oil.
- Place one salmon fillet in the center of each foil sheet.
- Arrange the mixed vegetables around the salmon on each foil sheet.
- Spoon the honey chipotle glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Fold the long edges of the foil together over the salmon, then tightly crimp the ends to seal the packet, leaving a little room inside for steam.
- Place the foil packets directly on the grill grates.
- Grill for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully remove the packets from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before opening and serving directly from the foil.
Notes
- For easy cleanup, use heavy-duty foil or double-layer regular foil.
- If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of chipotle adobo sauce.
- You can substitute asparagus or corn on the cob pieces for the mixed vegetables.
