Packet of Baked Salmon

Salmon is one of the very few fishes that I love to cook. It's meaty, it tastes healthy, it's forgiving, you can grill it, bake it, fry it, do whatever you want to do with it and it'll still turn out great!

Though Salmon is pricier than most common fish, for whatever size you buy, it's going to serve double than usual as it's really filling.
 
This dish works well with fusilli alla caprese but I'm pretty sure it'll taste just as good with fried rice or steamed rice.

Tip 1: Ask your fish monger to take the skin off the fillet. If they can't, slice it off with a sharp knife.
Tip 2: De-bone your salmon by running your fingers all over the fillet and take off any bone you find by a tweezer

Takes 35 minutes to cook, oh so worth it!

Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets (approx 150 grams each)
2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra 2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tomatoes, chopped
2 onions, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Knob of butter

Serves 4

Procedure:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F

Sprinkle salmon with 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, mix the tomatoes, onions, 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. 

Place a salmon fillet, oiled and seasoned side down, atope a sheet of foil.

Spoon the tomato mixture over the salmon and add a slice of butter on top.

Gather the sides of the foil packet forming a seal. Place the foil packet on a heavy large baking sheet.

Bake until the salmon is just cooked through, about 25 minutes.

Serve on foil packets or transfer salmon on a plate while reserving remaining juice on a small bowl as spooning sauce.

Happy Eating!!!

    I'm No Chef but I love food like it's no one's business.

    I didn't know anything about cooking... frying an egg used to be a nightmare.. until I was forced to learn more... I had my first born... that's when my gastronomic journey started...

    Join me in my food quest.
    Laugh at my embarrassing moments.
    Share my triumphs.

    And if you're brave enough ... cook with me (ooooh scary!), virtually that is, and have the most enjoyable time!

    Welcome aboard
    fellow foodies!
