SALMON BAKED IN FOIL
Another winner from Giada and Everyday Italian. I recently got hooked on the whole foil cooking method for fish and have been scouring the internet to add more of these to my arsenal of delicious, moist and super tasty fish recipes. Here's a true winner! Super healthy, super moist, super delicious. We love it. Even my 2 and 4 year old. I HIGHLY recommend you use fresh tomatoes in this recipe rather than the optional canned. MUCH better flavor. NOTE: I USE THIN FILLETS AND WOULD ONLY COOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES IF USING THIN FILLETS.

- 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.

BAKED SALMON IN A FOIL PACKET
Baking salmon in a foil packet it a very healthy way of preparing fish, because you don't need to use any fat for the baking process. I season the salmon with an exotic mix of marjoram, lemon, and star anise, but you could use the same method with different herbs and spices.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook onions until soft and browned, about 10 minutes. Season with marjoram and a little salt. Remove from heat.
- Place lemon slices in a single layer in a clean skillet over high heat and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3 minutes. Add star anise and water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
- Cover a baking pan large enough to hold the salmon with sheets of aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on all sides. Lay onions in a single layer on the bottom; place salmon fillet on top, skin-side down. Rub fillet with salt and pepper. Cover with lemon slices and star anise. Fold up the edges of the foil over the salmon to create a packet, making sure to seal the edges well.
- Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, open foil carefully, and serve.

Tips:
- Select the freshest salmon possible: Fresh salmon should have a vibrant color and a mild, briny scent. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong, fishy smell.
- Trim the salmon: Before cooking, trim away any excess fat or skin from the salmon. This will help the salmon cook evenly and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Season the salmon: Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the salmon.
- Wrap the salmon tightly in foil: To prevent the salmon from drying out, wrap it tightly in foil. This will create a steamy environment that will help the salmon to cook evenly.
- Bake the salmon at a high temperature: Bake the salmon at a high temperature (400°F) for a short period of time. This will help to keep the salmon moist and flaky.
- Let the salmon rest before serving: After the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the salmon, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Baked salmon in foil is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to prepare. By following these tips, you can create a perfectly cooked salmon that is flaky, moist, and flavorful. Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
