Ingredients

4 slices onion thinly sliced and separated
2 medium carrots peeled and thinly sliced
4 salmon fillets
2 tsp grated fresh ginger or 1 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
2 tsp sesame oil
salt & pepper to taste

Equipment

4 sheets aluminum foil 12x12 inches

Method

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Lay the foil squares flat and and center the onion rings and carrot slices on each, dividing evenly between all four sheets.
Place one salmon fillet over the onions and carrots on each square. Sprinkle with ginger then drizzle rice wine vinegar and sesame oil on each fillet. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and sides to seal each piece of salmon into a packet.
Place packets on baking sheet or indirectly on the grill and cook 16-20 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the packets (the steam inside is hot!) and remove each salmon fillet to a plate. Top with carrots and onions.
Sprinkle with additional seasoned rice vinegar if desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
