Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Tear off piece of foil wrap approx. 18 inches long and coat well with cooking spray (or oil or margarine) so the food does not stick on.
  3. Place 2 salmon fillets on the sheet of foil.
  4. Spread 1 tbsp of cream cheese on each piece of salmon.
  5. Place broccoli, cauliflower, peppers and onion over the salmon.
  6. Pour the Italian dressing over the entire mixture and wrap foil to make a sealed packet. You may want to add a second layer of foil to avoid leaks in the oven. Place the foil packet on a baking sheet.
  7. Bake until the salmon is just cooked through, about 25 minutes.

You can also cook this on a BBQ – use low heat so the foil packs do not burn.
