Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 small yellow zucchini (summer squash), sliced
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) chopped fresh basil
  • 30 mL (2 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley or chives
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 baby bok choy, cut in half lengthwise
  • 15 mL (1 tbsp) Dijon mustard
  • 10 mL (2 tsp) vegetable oil
  • 15 mL (1 tbsp) chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 mL (¼ tsp) ground pepper
  • 4 salmon fillets, skinned (about 125 g/4 oz each)

Directions

1

Cut asparagus stalks in half crosswise and place in large bowl. Add red pepper, zucchini, basil, parsley and garlic. Toss together to combine.

2

Lay out four large pieces of foil and divide bok choy among them. Top with asparagus mixture; set aside.

3

In small bowl, whisk together mustard, oil, thyme and pepper. Add salmon and turn to coat evenly. Place one piece of salmon on top of the bok choy- asparagus mixture. Fold foil to seal or place another piece of foil on top to seal and form packets.

4

Place packets on greased grill over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes. Use a digital food thermometer to check that the salmon has reached an internal temperature of 70°C (158°F).
