Salmon & Veggie Pockets
Oh how I LOVE the combination of salmon and dill.
They are a match made in heaven (I suppose that is why they are a classic flavor combination!).
This really is one of the easiest meals to make and it comes together super fast! You get your healthy fats, lean protein, and veggies all in one hit.
If you want to make this meal a little heartier, serve it up with some brown rice or whole grain pasta… YUM!
Salmon & Veggie Pockets
Ingredients:
- 2 6oz. fillets of salmon
- A few springs of fresh dill
- 12 asparagus spears
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Lay out a sheet of aluminum foil and place some fresh dill followed by a single salmon fillet. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
Top off each fillet with another sprig of dill and red bell pepper strips. Lay out a few asparagus spears on each side of the fillet and fold over your foil to completely seal in the salmon and veggies. Be sure the foil is sealed and that there is no place for steam to escape.
Place sealed pockets on a baking sheet and stick in the oven for twenty minutes.
Open up your package and enjoy!!
Serves 2.

Hi Dani,
I’m looking forward to trying the Salmon and Veggie Pockets. I especially like the fact that there is little cleanup. You do a wonderful job of making it look easy. Hope I can do the same.
