Asian Glazed Salmon in Foil for One

Taking the time to cook for yourself is a treat! I call it a solo date night. The key is to keep it easy prep and clean up. Just sauté a veggie and pop a sweet potato in the oven 30 minutes before the salmon and you have a delicious solo date night. Don't forget a good glass of pinot noir!
