Ingredients

4 (5 ounces each) salmon fillets
2 teaspoons olive oil plus 2 tablespoons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tomatoes, chopped, or 1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, drained
2 chopped shallots
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

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.

I love this recipe! THANKS GIADA! Mwah!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been using it since the episode aired! I am always looking for recipes to use with my home grown heirloom tomato's and... well this one is a winner. It is so quick, easy and delcious. It's also very versatile. Ii always change up a recipe. I added finely diced garlic, fresh basil, garlic olive oil (if I have it on hand) and some red pepper flakes. Sometimes I use extra shallot and/or fresh herbs from the garden! Serve it with rice so you can pour the wonderful juices over the rice! My favorite go to salmon recipe so far!Read more

This is such a great recipe. I'm a new cook and loved how easy it was and also had most of the ingredients on hand. It also... seems pretty healthy!Read more

Just perfect
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Couldn't be better. Actually, maybe it could although this is strictly personal taste. We pan seared the salmon first... before baking. The resulting crust was great.Read more

Easy, Quick, and Deliscious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was really quite good. We eat salmon often so it's nice to find a new preparation. This was quick and simple. My... boyfriend, family, and I ate every last piece! Even my brother, who is a picky eater, went back for seconds. We used fresh tomatoes and red onion instead of shallots since we did not have any on hand. A definite keeper for sure! Read more
