- 4 (6-ounces) salmon fillets, skinless
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Vietnamese chile-garlic sauce (sambal)
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 cup snow peas
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced plus more for garnishing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
- To make the Asian butter, in a small pot melt the butter (or melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave). Add the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, and chile-garlic sauce (sambal). Mix to combine.
- Place 4 pieces of aluminum foil (about 12 x 18 inches each) on the kitchen counter. Place the salmon on the center of the foil. Place the carrots and snow peas next to the salmon.
- Season the salmon and vegetables lightly with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the Asian butter over the salmon and vegetables. Sprinkle the scallions over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon and seal the packages completely.
- Place the foil packets on a sheet pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through but still a bit pink in the middle.
- Transfer the packets to a plate, open and garnish with scallions (optional). Enjoy!
