INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare 4 12″x 17″ pieces of foil on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil generously over each of the salmon fillets, then place the salmon fillets, oiled side down, on the prepared foil sheets.
Spread ½ of the crushed garlic over the salmon fillets, and season with salt, pepper. Add thyme.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining crushed garlic with the melted butter, ⅓ cup olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and paprika.
Place veggies in a large bowl or tray, pour the sauce over, toss to combine.
Divide the vegetables into 4 equal portions over (or next to) the salmon fillets. Fold the foil over the salmon and vegetables, cover completely and seal shut.
Bake in the 400 degree F heated-oven for 20-25 minutes.
When ready, carefully transfer the salmon and vegetable foil packets with a spatula to individual serving plates. Serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
NOTES
The salmon fillets are meant to be eaten right out of the foil. However, if you prefer to remove them, once baked, let the salmon fillets sit in the foil for 3-5 minutes and then very carefully lift each out with a large metal spatula.
