It's been a while, eh? Sorry about that. I've been cooking lots of new, yummy things, I just haven't taken time to take pictures or post them. But this was too good NOT to! And so simple!
Put everything in....
And Dinner is served.
Salmon Packets with roasted Squash
Ingredients:
2-4 Sockeye Salmon filets
1/2 onion, halved then sliced thick
handful grape tomatoes per filet
handful of red grapes per filet
2TBS capers per filet
1-2 lemons, quartered
2TBS white wine per filet
1TBS olive oil per filet (grape seed oil would be great too)
sea salt and fresh pepper
For the Squash:
2 Zucchini squash, diced into fairly large chunks
1- 8oz pkg button mushrooms (baby bells my favorite), cut in half (remove the stems)
1/2 onion, diced (fennel would be great too)
2TBS-1/4C olive oil
sea salt and fresh pepper
1 C. prepared Quinoa
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400.
Line a cookie sheet with foil, then prepare 2-4 sheets of foil for packets. Spray lined cookie sheet with Pam.
Place salmon filets in center of each sheet of foil. Add sliced onions, tomatoes, grapes, capers and lemons. Starting with one side, fold up edge of foil, creasing the center in as if to form an envelope. Bend the top corner over to seal. Repeat on opposite side, leaving a small opening in the top to pour liquid ingredients.
Add white wine and oil. Seal opening shut. Continue until all filets are used up. Line up on one end of cookie sheet.
For the squash:
On the same cookie sheet, add veggies. Pour oil over, sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix around until well coated. Spread out evenly across cookie sheet.
Bake entire sheet for 25 minutes. Once in the oven, start the Quinoa per package directions.
To serve: Divide Quinoa between plates. Fork out salmon and cover with veggies and sauce from foil packet. Side with squash mixture.
