Salmon Veggie Packets

The last couple weeks have been CRAZY around here! Between visiting Denver, our short trip to Nebraska last weekend and the absolutely nasty storm that hit here this weekend I haven't had a second to myself! Here I am, three weeks later on a Monday afternoon finally sitting down to post this recipe I made like literally 3 weeks ago. Time flies when you're having fun, right!? Sheesh!

This recipe is pure goodness! Salmon, tons of veggies, a yummy teriyaki sauce, steamed to perfection! PLUS, its all protein and veggies- so it's awesome for you! Something you can enjoying eating and not feel guilty about it!

Serves: 2
2 (4-6 oz.) salmon steaks
various vegetables chopped into similar, bite sized pieces
(I used broccoli, cauliflower, snow peas, acorn squash, carrots and baby red potatoes) 
Teriyake glaze (see recipe below)
2 Tbsp butter


1. Lay out two pieces of foil and place one piece of salmon in the middle of each.
2. Surround the salmon with chopped veggies.
3. Pour 1/2 of the teriyake sauce over each.
4. Cut butter into small pieces and dot over the top of the salmon and veggies.
4. Seal foil packets (make sure you leave a small slit in each side for steam to escape)
5. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven  for 20-30 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and veggies are fork tender.


Teriyake Glaze
1/4 cup store bought teriyaki glaze (found in the Asian aisle of the grocery store)
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp minced garlic

Scott opened up his "packet" and immediately said, "whoa, that's a lot of vegetables" hahah he is a meat and potatoes kinda guy so this wasn't his favorite dinner. For me, its the perfect, tasty, light dinner!
