My Produce Items (same box): Spinach, Leeks, Shallots
2 salmon filets
1 bunch of spinach with stems removed
1 large leek, thinly sliced and halved (white part and a tiny bit of green)
2 cloves of minced shallots
1 lemon
salt and pepper
aluminum foil cut into foot long pieces
Half lemon and sprinkle juice on the filets. Lightly salt and pepper.
Spread out aluminum foil. Lay down a small bed of spinach in the center of the foil. Place salmon on top of spinach bed. Sprinkle leeks and shallots on top.
Roll aluminum foil over to wrap up salmon, fold edges down. Place salmon packet on the grill and cook for 20-30 minutes.
Sprinkle remaining lemon juice on top of finished salmon if desired.
Serves 2
Final Verdict: Success
The salmon was very good. We had 2 filets, one a bit larger than the other. We cooked the salmon for 30 minutes and the larger filet cooked very nicely. It remained moist and tender. The smaller piece got a bit dry. The spinach blackened and burned a little on the edges. It all tasted very good minus the burned edges. Next time I will likely add some chopped tomatoes on top and cook for 20 minutes. We were also cooking corn to go with it and opening and closing the grill probably caused a loss of heat that affected how it cooked. I think if we kept the grill closed the whole time it cooked 20 minutes would have been sufficient.
