  • Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Lay out sheets of aluminum foil on a flat surface.

  • Step 2

    In a small bowl, combine the basil pesto with 1 tablespoon of olive oil per person, mixing well to create a smooth sauce.

  • Step 3

    Place each salmon fillet in the center of a foil sheet. Spread the pesto mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.

  • Step 4

    Toss the sliced zucchini and halved cherry tomatoes in a bowl with a splash of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Distribute them evenly around the salmon fillets on the foil.

  • Step 5

    Drizzle 30ml of vegetable stock over the vegetables and salmon to keep them moist during cooking.

  • Step 6

    Fold the foil over the salmon and vegetables, sealing the edges to create a packet that traps the steam inside. Ensure it’s well sealed but leave some space inside for air to circulate.

  • Step 7

    Place the foil packets on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  • Step 8

    Carefully open the foil packets (watch out for hot steam) and serve immediately, enjoying the aromatic pesto and juicy, flavorful salmon.
