For enhanced flavor, marinate the salmon in the tomato mixture for 30 minutes prior to baking. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences. Bell peppers, zucchini, or sun-dried tomatoes would be delicious additions. If you prefer a crisper topping, broil the salmon packets for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close watch to prevent burning. Serve with a side of couscous or quinoa for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPrepare the foil packets: Brush the center of each foil rectangle with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking. (2 minutes)
03
StepPlace a salmon filet in the center of each prepared foil sheet. Brush the salmon lightly with olive oil and sprinkle generously with Greek seasoning. (3 minutes)
04
StepIn a small bowl, create the Mediterranean medley: Combine the diced tomatoes, quartered artichoke hearts, minced red onion, halved Kalamata olives, lemon zest and juice, minced parsley, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
05
StepSpoon the vibrant tomato mixture evenly over each salmon filet, ensuring every bite is infused with flavor. (2 minutes)
06
StepSeal the foil packets: Pull the long ends of the foil rectangles over the filets and fold twice to crimp, creating a secure seal. Ensure the foil does not touch the contents to allow for proper steaming. Lift each end of the packet and pinch closed to completely seal. Place the sealed packets on a rimmed baking sheet. (5 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For precise doneness, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a filet through the foil packet should read 145°F (63°C). (15 minutes)
08
StepTo serve, carefully place the foil packs on individual serving plates. Open each packet, allowing the fragrant steam to escape. Drizzle with any remaining olive oil from the packet, garnish with fresh parsley sprigs, and serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing. (2 minutes)

Jun 23, 2025I'm not a big fan of olives, so I left them out, and it was still amazing. The other flavors really shine through.
