Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound salmon fillet (or four 4 ounce fillets)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 20 cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup prepared basil pesto
- Optional cauliflower rice for serving
Instructions
- Place the salmon on a sheet of tin foil that is large enough to wrap completely over itself to cover the salmon and seal in the steam.
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil.
- Place the tomatoes around the salmon, then fold up the edges of the foil around it to create a 1 inch rim to trap the moisture inside.
- Pour the white wine into the foil around the salmon and tomatoes.
- Fold the extra foil over the top of the salmon packet and lightly crimp to create a mostly sealed package.
- Cook on a preheated grill (to about 400 degrees F) over indirect heat for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and keep covered five minutes.
- Lift up the top layer of foil and brush the cooked salmon with the pesto.
- Serve warm with cauliflower rice if desired.
Notes
Alternative Sheet Pan Method: Â Place all of the ingredients (except for the pesto) in a small sheet pan. Â Cover with tin foil and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. Â Brush with pesto and serve.
