Delicious! One of my new favorite ways to make fish! Loved the smell of fresh herbs from my "garden" baking in the oven - the house smells wonderful :-)
Salmon Baked in Foil
Source: Giadia
Sprinkle salmon with 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir the tomatoes, shallots, 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.
Place a salmon fillet, oiled side down, atop a sheet of foil. Wrap the ends of the foil to form a spiral shape. Spoon the tomato mixture over the salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and tomato mixture, covering completely; seal the packets closed. Place the foil packet on a heavy large baking sheet. Repeat until all of the salmon have been individually wrapped in foil and placed on the baking sheet. Bake until the salmon is just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Using a large metal spatula, transfer the foil packets to plates and serve.
Sides (for two):
Prepare a large steamer with water and bring to a boil. Steam potatoes for 25 minutes, adding the broccoli during the last five minutes. Sprinkle chives over potatoes and add butter if desired. Lightly salt both sides.
