Foil Cooked Salmon with Fresh Broccoli and Onions

Love Salmon? Salmon cooked on the barbecue? Love to clean up the mess?

No? Me either, that's why I cooked this Salmon dish in foil. My friend Kurt Ploetz aka “Outdoor Chef Kurt” from www.fishgriller.com sent me this recipe awhile back. Kurt calls it ” Ranch Dressing Salmon Fillets with Orange Slices”, way too many words for me, so at our house we  just call it fantastic!

Why cook in foil?

Cooking in foil has a few very worth while positives:

• No mess, just throw the foil into the recycle bin.
• Keep's the Barbecue grill clean.
• Seals in flavor.
• Stores well, nice little roll in a box, very little space needed.
• Serves as a plate replacement, eliminating dish washing.

I could go on for ever about cooking in foil! However, I  am quite sure you would rather read about the recipe instead. Of course I made some alterations to suit my cooking style and taste but it is very close to Kurt's original recipe.
