Lemon Basil Salmon with Steamed Veggies

Less than 30 minutes

The perfect summer recipe

A dinner that takes less than thirty minutes to make and all in one dish is my kind of meal. Adding fresh basil and lemon to this recipe not only brings out the perfect flavors of summer but keep it light and fresh. With the veggies and the fish folded into aluminum foil, this meal can be easily steamed on the grill for more of the charred flavor or roasted in the oven for a more smooth flavor. Either way, I cant’t wait for you to try!
