salmon en papillote


i've been trying to get more flavorful protein into my family's tummies so we revisited salmon. rich & satisfying and full of omega fatty acids... {more health benefits here}  i found this giada recipe {love her} and adapted it based on what we happened to have on hand.  i must say this was very flavorful & easy!  yay.

i'm looking forward to trying giada's salmon soon, but in the meantime, i can attest to this combo: sun-dried tomatoes, capers, chopped onion & garlic, parsley, evoo and s&p.  mounded on top of salmon filets, wrapped en papillote, {doesn't that sound fancy} and baked at 400 for ~25 mins.  

we enjoyed ours on a spinach salad with feta, pecans, cukes & blueberries. putting together dinner looked something like this:

Oooh these are gorgeous. Salmon is one of Miller's favorites so we eat it often. If you need another SUPER simple method that's tasty and leaves lots of room for additions, search for PW's salmon by Pamela Anderson. We do that method a lot.
