My family loves this salmon dish. I got it from Everyday Italian cookbook. I do not care for salmon but I love the flavoring for this dish. It is easy and you can make ahead.
Salmon Baked in Foil
1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes (drained)
2 shallots (chopped)
2 Tbls plus 2 teas. olive oil
2 Tbls fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh oregano or (3/4 tea. dried)
1 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme or (3/4 tea. dried)
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 salmon fillets (about 5 oz each) (I use 1 lg fillet about 1-1 1/2 lbs)
Preheat oven to 400. In med bowl stir the tomoatoes, shallots, 2 tbls oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper.
Using a large foil sheet (I use the non stick kind) spoon a little oil, salt and pepper to taste on the foil and coat the salmon. Spoon the tomato mixture on the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and tomato mixture, covering completely and seal the packet closed. Place the packet on a large heavy baking sheet. (this is the point where you can have everything done up to 6 hrs ahead, just refrigerate until ready to cook)
Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer the salmon and tomato mixture onto a serving dish.
I usually make some rice and a green veggie to go with it.
** The foil packet makes for easy cleanup!!**
Hope you like
