Campfire Miso-Butter Salmon Breakfast Foil Packets with Rice, Shiitake and Soft Eggs
Pack salmon fillets over precooked rice, spinach and shiitake with a miso-ginger butter, then seal in double foil. Cook on a grate over medium coals for 7 minutes, open and set an egg into a rice nest on each packet, and cook 6 to 8 minutes more until the salmon hits 145°F and the egg whites are set. Total cook time is about 15 minutes once your coals are ready.
This is a Japanese-style breakfast set made for a campfire. Salty-sweet miso butter melts into the rice, the salmon steams in its own juices, and an egg cooks right on top. Everything happens in one packet per person.
The trick is a two-stage cook. Salmon and an egg need different times, so the egg goes in halfway through. Build the packets before you light the fire and the rest is easy. Call it a slow-morning breakfast, the kind you plan a layover day around.
