Foil-pack dinners are a convenient way to quickly create a flavorful dish with practically no cleanup. In this foil-pack, the salmon and vegetables are simply cooked, then finished with a bright, assertive ginger-scallion butter.

Ingredients
- 2 cups thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps
- 4 cups baby spinach
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 1/4 cup dry white wine (or use water)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 scallions, sliced
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Lay out four 18-inch-long sheets of heavy-duty foil. Mound 1/2 cup mushrooms and 1 cup spinach in the center of each; season with salt and pepper. Top each with a salmon fillet, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon wine (or water). Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to form a packet, leaving room inside for steam.
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Grill the foil packets until the fish is just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, you can bake the foil packets in a 450˚ F oven until the fish is just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.) Let the packets sit 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the butter, scallions, ginger, sesame oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mini food processor. Pulse until smooth. Carefully open the foil packets. Top with the flavored butter.

Reviews
Loved this! Added some garlic powder to seasonings, and we grilled packets for 15 minutes, they were cooked perfectly! Easy prep and cleanup. We have salmon twice a week and will definitely make this recipe again
Not a huge fan, the mushrooms were rubbery and flavorless and overall the meal was very complicated and not very tasty; maybe it would have been better on the grill, cause it also took forever to cook.
This is very easy and tasty. But I felt like it needed some garlic or something or maybe lemon juice instead of or in addition to the wine. Love the minimal clean up!
Simple yet so flavorful!
It was a great easy meal my 3yrold picky daughter loved it!
