There are so many interesting ways to prepare salmon. One relatively unique method involves wrapping the salmon in aluminum foil. I recently tried baking it this way, and found it to be wonderful!

I used a combination of ingredients that I enjoyed. Always remember that you can add or delete any specific component of any recipe.

For example, if you do not like capers, then try substituting olives. You can use any spice combination that you like to individualize the recipe. 

Salmon baked this way will always ensure a moist, delicious outcome.

I thought it was delicious and I think you will too!

Ingredients for the Salmon

2 (1/2) pound center-cut salmon fillets
2 tsp. olive oil, plus 2 tbsp.
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 tomatoes on the vine, seeded and chopped
2 shallots, chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 sprigs of fresh oregano, chopped, or 1 tsp. dried
2 sprigs of fresh thyme, chopped, or 1 tsp. dried
2 tsp. capers

Preheat oven to 350.

Brush each piece of salmon with 1 tsp. of olive oil. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper.

Mix together the tomatoes, capers, shallots, lemon juice, oregano, thyme and 2 tbsp. olive oil in a bowl.

Place each piece of salmon on top of a piece of aluminum foil, big enough to wrap around the salmon and completely cover it.

Spoon the tomato mixture over the salmon.

Fold the foil around the salmon, covering it completely. Seal the sides tightly.

Place on baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes.

It’s that simple!
