Salmon Baked in Foil With Spinach and Tomatoes
My family loves this dish served with Pappardelles Pasta. This is a high protein pasta with amazing texture. You can order this pasta at www.pappardellespasta.com.
Ingredients:
- 4 wild King salmon fillets from www.vitalchoice.com (about 5 ounces each)
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 14.5 oz Muir Glen diced tomatoes
- 1 yellow onion
- 1 lemon for juice
Spinach - Organic butter
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Sprinkle salmon with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- In small bowl stir the tomatoes, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and a bit more salt and pepper.
- Place a handful of spinach on a square of foil large enough to hold your salmon filet. Place about 2 tablespoons of chopped onion on top of spinach. Next place salmon filet on top of spinach and onion and spiral together the ends of the foil to make a boat for the fish.
- Add a small bit of butter to top of fish and then spoon the tomato mixture over the salmon. Don’t worry about how much just eyeball what you think you would like.
- Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and tomato mixture, covering completely and seal the packets closed.
- Place the foil packet on a large baking sheet. Follow this process until all packets are placed on the baking sheet.
- Bake until salmon is just cooked through. About 25 minutes.
- A large metal spatula works well to transfer salmon to plate. Keep the yummy juices left in the foil and pour over the top of the fish
