Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, 2 tbsp chopped dill, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Lay out 4 large pieces of foil. Place one 6 oz salmon fillet in the center of each piece. Divide 2 sliced zucchinis and 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes evenly among the packets around the salmon.
Step 3: Spoon the herb and olive oil mixture evenly over each salmon fillet and vegetables.
Step 4: Fold the foil over the salmon and vegetables to create sealed packets. Place on a baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake for 15-18 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and vegetables are tender.
Step 6: Carefully open the foil packets and transfer salmon and vegetables to plates. Spoon any juices from the packets over the top before serving.
