4 C. Wirthy Salmon fillets

- 2 tablespoons salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 pieces of aluminum foil (or parchment paper)

- 3 tomatoes, chopped, or 1 (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, drained
- 2 chopped shallots
- 2 tablespoons of Kalamata olives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. While the oven is heating prepare the topping and set aside.
For the Olive Topping:
- Stir the tomatoes, shallots, olives and 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper in a medium bowl to blend and set aside to marinate while preparing the salmon
For the Salmon:
- Sprinkle salmon with 2 teaspoons olive oil, salt, and pepper
- Place a salmon fillet oiled side down on top of a sheet of foil or parchment paper
- Spoon one quarter of the tomato mixture over the salmon
- Fold the sides of the foil or paper to form a tented pouch and then fold over the ends of the ‘pouch’ to seal closed and repeat with remaining fillets
- Place the 4 foil pouches on a heavy duty large baking sheet
- Bake until the salmon is just cooked through, about 25 minutes.
- Place pouches on plates and serve immediately upon removing from oven.
Note: This recipe can be cooked on a barbeque oven over indirect heat.
