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.

This Turned Me Into a Salmon Eater
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm a person with little to no experience cooking or eating seafood, but since I wanted to start incorporating more fish into... my diet, I decided to test out salmon, (which I have never liked in the past no matter how it was prepared) and holy cow is this recipe great! My husband and I couldn't get over how easy and delicious this turned out to be. I used the Kobe Wild Pacific fillets from Trader Joe's and found them to have no fishy taste at all (which is why I don't generally like salmon). Nice job on this one, Giada!Read more

Great Flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this dish for Sunday dinner and it was huge hit! The prep time was quick and the flavors were really complimentary to... the salmon. I kept my large salmon filet in tact instead of cutting up into smaller pieces and it still came out great. Giada rocks!Read more

Flavourful and healthy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this dish on New Year's Eve and put in on the buffet. I prepped the salmon in the morning and refridgerated it until... just before dinner. I served the salmon with a citrus beurre blanc (a bit of decadence but it WAS New Year's) but this dish is yummy without the sauce as well. A definate 'go to' and another great recipe from Giada!Read more

Easy and Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

A simple main dish that goes well with a side that takes a little more effort, like risotto. Tastes more complex than it... really is! A nice dish to make for company!Read more
