Oven baked salmon with asparagus and cherry tomatoes

A delicious skinny spring recipe: salmon from the oven with asparagus and tomatoes.Cooked in its own liquids so all flavors are completely absorbed!

An elegant, simple and delicious spring recipe: oven baked salmon with asparagus and tomatoes. Cooked in their own juices, making all the smells and flavors are preserved.

You can make the packages the night before and store in the refrigerator, so you only have to bake them in the oven. Serve with fresh pasta and some extra green salad.

Because ...

• Use parchment paper to make the package. If you don't have parchment paper at home, you can also use aluminum foil.
• Cooking the peel of the asparagus gives them even more flavor.

Substitutes

• If you don't like salmon (or prefer not to eat salmon), replace it with cod. That also has a solid structure.
• You can also replace thyme with rosemary or basil

Delicious

with

• Also delicious with other Italian herbs. Then use it as a mix.

Budget friendly

version

• Instead of salmon, use saithe fillets from the freezer.
• Substitute the shallot, with half a finely chopped onion.
• Use white or frozen asparagus instead of fresh asparagus. Bring them to a boil in the cooking liquid.
• Instead of feta cheese, use a slice of white cheese.
• Plant fresh parsley, chives and basil in a pot. You will enjoy this for months they will cost you less.

The price of the budget friendly version is € 1.70 per person

Storage

• Prepare the packages a day in advance, but do not bake them off. The next day you bake them from the refrigerator.
• Furthermore, you cannot save these salmon packets as a whole. If you've got leftover salmon, use it the next day in a delicious salmon salad. I freeze any vegetable leftovers and use them as the basis for a vegetable stock.
