The whole dinner cooks in one foil packet — chickpeas and zucchini underneath, salmon on top, and a honey, ginger, lemon and garlic glaze poured over before it’s sealed shut.
Pat the zucchini dry before it goes in. Wet zucchini steams everything around it and you end up with a puddle in the foil instead of a glaze on the fish.
Four packets, four portions, and the vegetables finish at the same moment the salmon does. About as close to a whole dinner in one step as this gets.
