Keto BBQ Salmon Foil Packs Recipe

Print Recipe

Easy keto salmon foil packs with BBQ spice, butter, and low-carb veggies. No cleanup, no carbs, just real food with big flavor. Ready in about 25 minutes using your oven or grill.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each, skin-on)

  • 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced

  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 4 tbsp butter (1 per foil pack)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

BBQ Rub (mix in small bowl):

  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp mustard powder

  • 1/2 tsp chipotle powder or cayenne (optional)

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp brown erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven or grill to 400°F.

  • Mix all BBQ rub ingredients in a small bowl.

  • In a separate bowl, toss sliced zucchini, peppers, and onions with olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  • Tear 4 large pieces of foil. Divide veggies evenly across the center of each.

  • Place one salmon fillet on top of each veggie pile.

  • Rub each fillet with BBQ seasoning.

  • Add 1 tbsp of butter and (optional) lemon slice on each.

  • Fold foil into a sealed packet.

  • Cook for 12–15 mins on the grill or 15–17 mins in the oven, until salmon flakes easily.

  • Open carefully (watch the steam) and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can swap in asparagus, mushrooms, or broccoli instead of zucchini.

  • Trout or cod also work well instead of salmon.

  • Add chopped parsley, feta, or a drizzle of keto-friendly BBQ sauce after cooking.

  • If using regular foil, double-wrap to prevent leaking.

  • Make ahead: raw packets can sit in the fridge for 24 hrs before cooking.
