Summer Salmon Packets
I spent some time cleaning out parts of the garden today and decided to use the produce as inspiration for dinner. It wasn't your usual salmon dish, but i combined a couple other ideas and came up with my own recipe.
Ingredients
4 salmon pieces
1 cup tomato diced (or 1 15 ounce diced canned tomatoes)
4 sprigs of thyme
12 basil leaves
1/2 lemon, sliced
1 clove garlic diced
1 small summer squash
1 small eggplant
1 teaspoon your favorite mixed seasoning (I used Spicy Honey Habaneno for a little bit of a kick!)
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
First cut 4 cookie sheet size pieces of parchment paper. Fold in half and cut into a big heart shape.
Next place 3-4 slices of summer squash on the parchment paper, close to center, but on one side of the fold.
Place 2-3 slices of eggplant on top.
Next place one piece of salmon on top of the eggplant.
Make 3 slits in the salmon fill the slits with diced garlic and 1 rolled basil leave for each slit.
Spoon diced tomatoes on top, then drizzle olive oil, balsamic vinegar, your favorite seasoning and salt and pepper and a sprig of thyme.
Top with a slice of lemon
Fold parchment paper in half and crimp the paper all around your salmon and veggies
Repeat the process on the other three salmon pieces
Place on cookie sheets and bake for 20 minutes. Allow to rest out of the oven for 5 minutes. Be careful when opening the packets so that you are not burned by the steam. Enjoy!
