Honey Mustard Grilled Salmon in foil packets are savory, sweet, and delicious. Plus: easy clean-up!

Have you ever heard of the fancy French term Fish en Papillote?

It basically means fish “in paper” and it’s a very popular and classic way of cooking. I learned this technique very early on in culinary school and have been using it since.

This type of cooking encloses your ingredients — fish, vegetables, aromatics, seasonings — in parchment paper or foil. Everything gets cooked in the foil envelope and steamed. It is perfect for cooking delicate foods, like fish, and keeping them moist and tender while quickly cooking.

Not to mention, there’s no clean-up involved! It’s basically one of the easiest, tastiest, and mess-free one pot meals. But the “pot” is a foil pouch.

How to Make Grilled Salmon in Foil Packets

You can either grill or cook the foil packets in the oven. I personally love to grill these, especially in the summer. It’s quick, there’s no need to turn a hot oven on, and I think the grill gives these much more flavor.

To make grilled salmon in foil packets, you need:

heavy duty foil
salmon (you could also use cod, halibut, tilapia, etc.)
aromatics and herbs (like lemon, dill, basil, garlic, rosemary, etc.)
vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus, leeks, onions, mushrooms, or greens)
a sauce/glaze

My favorite type of salmon (and how I prepare this recipe) is a honey mustard salmon.

This honey mustard sauce is sweet, savory, and perfectly paired with the salmon and vegetables.

The star of the sauce is Maille Rich Country Dijon, a mustard I use for pretty much anything and everything. Maille is my secret weapon when it comes to elevating summer grilling. From potato salads to grilled salmon, it just makes everything taste so much better.

I’ve used Maille to make next-level grilled ham and cheese and comforting one-pot dishes in no time. I’m also constantly browsing their Recipes page and Facebook group for inspiration because they’re always sharing amazing recipes and ideas.

Easy. No-fuss. No clean-up. Cooks up on the grill in just 15 minutes.

Can it get any better?
