Grilled Mediterranean Salmon Packets
Ingredients
  • 1 (10 ounce) basket cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons black olive tapenade
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 basil leaves
  • 4 small fresh thyme sprigs
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 (12x18-inch) pieces aluminum foil
  • 4 (7 ounce) salmon filets, with skin
Instructions
1
Heat up the outdoor grill to its highest temperature setting and lightly brush the metal grates with a small amount of oil.
2
Close the grill lid to trap the heat inside.
3
In a bowl, blend together cherry tomatoes, olive oil, finely chopped shallot, tapenade, salt, fragrant basil leaves, and earthy thyme leaves; mix everything together until it's well combined.
4
Place a sheet of aluminum foil on a flat surface, shiny side facing upwards. Position each salmon fillet skin-side down in the center of a piece of foil, leaving some space around it. Spoon 1/4 of the prepared tomato mixture over each piece of salmon, making sure to cover it evenly. Fold up the foil's edges over the salmon to form a tight packet, ensuring that the edges are sealed tightly.
5
Reduce the grill's heat setting and carefully place the foil packets on the metal grates. Close the lid again to maintain the heat, and cook until the salmon reaches a pale pink color in the center and flakes easily with a fork, taking around 7 to 8 minutes.
6
Carefully remove the foil packets from the grill and let them sit for a few minutes before opening to serve.
