No Mess Foil Baking - Salmon

from April Anderson
Just Another Natural Nut

I love foil baking for one reason- no mess (except I do wash the tinfoil and use it for other things after).  Heavy duty foil works best but if you don't have it just double up on your regular tin foil.

You will need - 

• a baking sheet
• tin foil
• salmon fillets (up to 4)
• a veggie (asparagus, zucchini, broccoli, green beans, thinly sliced potatoes ...you choose)
• tomatoes (grape or cherry)
• sliced red onion (I like onions so I use a full medium sized)
• olive oil
• salt and pepper
• seasoning of choice (dill, tarragon, basil, thyme or parsley).  I like fresh but dried will work as well
• like a little heat, add a bit of red pepper flakes or Cajun dried spice
• like a little sweet, drizzle some honey
• sliced lemons (1 lemon will do)

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (180 C for convection 200 C for conventional) and while the oven is heating

• lay your sheet (or double sheet) of tinfoil onto your cookie sheet
• drizzle a little oil onto the tinfoil
• place your salmon on the tinfoil, making sure to leave room on all side to easily seal when you add the top layer of tinfoil
• drizzle the salmon with a little olive oil and sprinkle a little salt and pepper.  Add your chosen spices on the salmon
• position your veggies along the sides
• place your halved cherry or grape tomatoes on top of the salmon
• scatter your sliced onions
• salt & pepper your veggies
• top with lemon
• add the top layer of tin foil and on all sides seal the upper and lower foil by folding until there are no seen opening

Bake for 25 minutes.  When done place on top of stove or safe mat for counters for 5 minutes before opening and enjoying
