Ingredients

2 (4-ounce filets) 1 each ½ teaspoon ¼ teaspoon 4 cloves Salmon filets Lemon, sliced Salt Black pepper Garlic, sliced

1/2 cup

Artichokes, canned, quartered 1/2 cup Bell pepper, diced 2 tablespoons Kalamata olives, quartered 2-3 tablespoons Red onion, diced ½ cup Cherry tomatoes, halved 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning 1/4 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

Method:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. • Squeeze a lemon over the salmon. Sprinkle filets with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. • Fold two pieces of parchment paper in half and center each filet on one side of each paper. • Divide the vegetables in half and arrange the garlic, artichokes, olives, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes over and around the 2 filets. • Fold the parchment paper over the fish. Fold the edges of the paper over several times, inch by inch, all around the open edges, to seal the fish into a parchment paper envelope. (Do not tape the parchment paper closed.) • Place the sealed envelopes onto a baking sheet. • Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque about 12 minutes. To serve, place baked envelope onto a plate, and cut open the paper to release the aroma. • Serve with fresh arugula and roasted potatoes.
