Yields: 2 servings

Ingredients:

• 1/2 medium organic onion
• 1 large organic tomato
• 1 jalapeno
• 1 clove organic garlic
• 1 sprig organic rosemary
• 2 8-oz organic salmon filets
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon organic garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• juice from 1/2 organic lemon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F.

Chop the onion, tomato, jalapeno, garlic and rosemary.

Next, place each salmon filet on a piece of aluminum foil and season with salt, pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.

Wrap the ends of the foil to form a spiral shape, creating a pocket.  Split the chopped vegetables (onion, tomato, jalapeno, garlic and rosemary) equally among the pockets of salmon.  

Bake until salmon is cooked through, 25 - 30 minutes.  Once finished, add lemon juice on top of salmon.  Using a large metal spatula, transfer the foil packets to plates and serve.
