Ingredients
Salmon
- 1 lb salmon 4 fillets, approximately 4-6 oz. each
- 2 cups fresh snow peas
- 2 cups baby bella mushrooms
Marinade
- 1½ tablespoons lemon juice about half a lemon
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil or olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1½ teaspoons grated ginger
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Garnishes
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds white or black
- 2 tablespoons green onions sliced
- ½ lemon cut into slices
Instructions
- Make the marinade: Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, juice of half of the lemon, coconut aminos, salt, and pepper.
Prepare the Foil Packets
- Slice the mushrooms and green onions and set them aside. Slice the other half of the lemon into rounds.
- Lay out four large sheets of tin foil. Divide the snow peas and sliced mushrooms between them, laying a small pile of veggies in the center of each piece of tin foil. Place one fillet of fish on each and lay a slice of lemon on top of it. Pull the sides of the foil up a bit, and gently press only two of the the ends together.
- Pour the marinade mixture onto each fish, coating the top & bottom. Close the foil, sealing it on the top and sides fully, and let it marinate for about an hour.
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Place the fish packets on a rimmed sheet pan and bake for about 18-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. Open the foil and use a fork to check for doneness (the fish should flake easily). Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and lemon slices, if desired. Serve while fish is warm.

Notes
- You can assemble and marinate the packets up to a day in advance and store them in the fridge until ready to bake.
- If using frozen salmon, make sure it’s fully thawed before assembling the packets so the fish cooks evenly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to avoid drying it out.
