Mediterranean Salmon Baked in Foil

Back to recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 5-ounce salmon fillets, skin removed
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 plum tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, chopped
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 lemons, sliced

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400 F.
  2. Lay out 4 long sheets of foil and brush each one with olive oil. Place a piece of salmon on each sheet of foil and season the salmon with paprika, salt and pepper. Wrap the ends of the foil into a spiral.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir the tomatoes, shallots, capers, olives, salt, parsley and lemon juice to blend.
  4. Place the lemon slices over the salmon. Spoon the tomato mixture evenly over each piece of salmon. Fold the sides of the foil over the fish, lemon, and tomato mixture, covering it completely to seal the packets closed.
  5. Place the foil packets on a large baking sheet. Bake until the salmon is just cooked through, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Using tongs or a large spatula, transfer the foil packets to plates and serve. Be careful when opening the packets as steam will escape.
