SALMON BAKED IN FOIL - That's What's For Dinner Tonight!

Cooking food "in a bag" is a common method in many cultures. It steams the food and keeps the natural juices from evaporating. This recipe is not only a healthy alternative, but very delicious too! 
A  NOTE: As some might have concerns about cooking in foil, you can line the foil with parchment paper first so the fish is not directly sitting on the foil. Then proceed as follows.

Makes 4 servings

1 small jar artichoke hearts chopped

1 tomato seeds removed and chopped

1/2 cup chopped onions

2 tablespoons capers

1 finely diced garlic clove 

A few vinegar or peppadew peppers chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lemon cut into thin slices

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste 

3 lb whole piece of salmon fillet skinned

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 

Mix together the first seven ingredients and gently toss. Lay the salmon fillet in the center of a large piece of spray oiled aluminum foil (enough to be able to wrap the salmon). Spoon the mixture over the salmon. Lay the lemon slices on top of that in a nice row covering all of the salmon. Sprinkle with seasonings.

Fold the sides of the foil over the fish covering completely and seal the packed tightly closed. Place the packet on a baking sheet. Bake until the salmon is cooked about 25 minutes. Serve with rice.

The salmon can be prepared up to 6 hours ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.
