Easy Salmon Foil Packets

A healthy meal that takes minutes to make!

According to Time magazine, one of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to eat healthier. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the quickest resolutions to be broken.

The authors think it’s because people go overboard. So many of us think that eating healthy means giving up their favorite treats for good, and who could stick to that? But I think there’s another reason too. A lot of people think cooking healthy meals is hard work. You know, skinning the chicken, mixing up low-fat dressings, weighing out your portions-it all sounds so complicated.

Wanna know the good news? It doesn’t have to be!

These Easy Salmon Foil Packets are incredibly simple.  Just rub the fish with sauce, top it with garlic and green beans, and bake. In fact, it’s so easy, even my daughters can cook it (well, with a little help from Mom). See?

So this meal is actually a three-fer: it’s easy, it’s healthy, and it’s a good way to get the kids involved in the kitchen. And what kids help cook, they’re a lot more likely to eat.

I was actually worried that my youngest wouldn’t like the dish, since she has turned her nose up at salmon a couple times. But after getting to help “paint the fish” with the sauce and assemble her own yummy packet, she ended up loving it.)
