Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked instant rice
  • 1 3/4 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-ounce carton)
  • 1 cup (from 10-ounce bag) matchstick-cut carrots
  • 4 (4 to 6 ounces each) salmon fillets
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1 medium lemon, cut lengthwise in half, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
Make With
Progresso Broth

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Spray four 18x12-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Mix rice and broth in medium bowl. Let stand about 5 minutes or until most of broth is absorbed. Stir in carrots.
  • 3
    Place salmon fillet on center of each foil piece. Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning salt and salt; top with chives. Arrange lemon slices over salmon. Spoon rice mixture around each fillet. Fold foil over salmon and rice so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion.
  • 4
    Cover and grill packets 4 to 6 inches from low heat 11 to 14 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with fork. Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold back foil.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Foil packets should be opened very carefully, keeping the opening pointed away from you. Very hot steam collects inside the packets during cooking and could result in burns.
  • tip 2
    Use whatever fresh herbs you have on hand. Basil, parsley or thyme would all be delicious with the salmon.
  • tip 3
    Soaking the rice in broth before grilling the packets ensures the rice will be done at the same time as the salmon.
