Ingredients
  • 2 (5 ounces each) salmon fillets
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil plus 1 tablespoon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ of 1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, drained
  • 1 chopped shallot
  • 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven or grill to 400 degrees F. Place each salmon fillet atop a sheet of foil. Wrap the ends of the foil to form a spiral shape, like a candy wrapper.
  2. Sprinkle salmon with 1 teaspoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. In a small bowl, stir the tomatoes, shallots, 1 tablespoon of oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.
  3. Spoon ½ the tomato mixture over each piece of salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the fish and tomato mixture, covering completely and seal the packets closed.
  4. Place the foil packets on a heavy large baking sheet or grill pan. Cook until the salmon is just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Using a large metal spatula, transfer the foil packets to plates and serve.
