In observation of the last day of the Lenten Fast, I thought I would share with you, a simple but delicious recipe for Salmon that is easy to make any time of year.
Salmon with Tomatoes, Lemon and Rosemary
1 to 1-1/2 lbs of Salmon fillet cut into 4 equal piecesSalt
Pepper
4 tsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
16 slices lemon + 1-whole lemon squeezed
4 sprigs rosemary (you can use dried rosemary if you don't have fresh)
24 cherry tomatoes (halved) or 4 Italian tomatoes (sliced)
1-glass of your favorite wine
1. Preheat oven to 475-degrees. Cut four 12-inch long pieces of parchment paper.
2. Rub each fillet with salt, pepper, 1-tsp EVOO and 1/t-tsp lemon juice.
Put 2 lemon slices in the center of each parchment, take a sip of your wine and continue...
top lemon slices with Salmon, a rosemary sprig or dried rosemary,
two more slices of lemon; surround with 12 cherry tomato halves or 1 sliced Italian tomato.
Fold down parchment and seal edges well - leaving room around the ingredients so they can steam. Put packets on baking sheet.
isn't this just beautiful?
3. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked.
(open center packet to test.)

hello... are you done yet?
At this point I let my Salmon "rest" for approx. 1-2 minutes, in the packets, on top of stove. Then serve immediately with rice and vegetable dishes of your choice.
I love the way parchment looks just out of the oven... tinged with color... Now, finish you glass of wine and enjoy your dinner...

Great salmon recipe. My dad used to list bourbon as one of his BBQ sauce ingredients--none in it; he just liked sipping it while he cooked!
Looks delightful, and I never say no to a libation while cooking! Have a Happy Easter...Nancy
Dixie, so yummy! Those salmon pockets are wow! I grabbed the recipe and directions so I can try it the next time I find some fresh salmon fillets.
Thank you my friend!
Hugs to you and Candy!
Hello Dixie, your Salmon parcels look delicious, Happy Foodie Friday. Kathy
I have parchment paper, but only use it to line cookie sheets. You made that so easy - and I love salmon - so I'll definitely try it! Happy Easter! Linda
Love fish anytime -- but during Lent we enjoy the fish frys at the Catholic church -- good food and good fellowship
Thanks for the recipe...Cat Daddy will love this! I will love the wine.
I remember when I was in school, only fish was served on Fridays in the cafeteria. I always looked forward to that day. I love any type of fish or seafood...as long as it's cooked. No sushi, please!
Have a wonderful and blessed Easter.

Yummo, as Rachel Ray would say. Have a few errands to run today and think I will add these ingredients to my list, love salmon.
Now I am going to take my coffee out on the deck and listen to the birds and praise the Lord for all His goodness. (wish you could join me)
Thankful for new friends, Candy
Good grief girl, my mouth is watering! Thanks for the recipe!
