Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut 2 sheets of aluminum foil of 15-inch (40cm) length. Combine all ingredients for the garlic cream sauce in a bowl and set aside.
2. Divide zucchini, carrot, and red onion among the two sheets of foil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Brush salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then place over each layer of veggies on foil. Arrange shrimp on top of salmon. Season with salt and pepper. Pour some of the dill cream sauce on top and sprinkle with fresh dill.
4. Wrap sides of foil then fold up each ends to seal. Transfer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until salmon has cooked through, about 20 minutes (may vary based on the thickness of your salmon fillets). Carefully open foil packets and serve warm with additional dill cream sauce if you want. Enjoy!
