Foil Wrapped Salmon with Vine Tomatoes is a dish I love making. Not only is it so full of flavour, it looks stunning and saves on the washing up. I make these as large parcels when the family are here or individual parcels for guests. The aroma of salmon and lemon with herbs is a perfect appetite builder. Serve as a main dish either with the vegetables in the foil or cooked separately.
I always add capers and olives as they add a complimentary flavour and almost perfume to the dish. However, you can include certain vegetables within the foil wrapping with the salmon. Vegetables such as asparagus, beans, broccoli, zucchini/courgette etc. Just make sure you sliced them so they cook in the same timeframe.

- Carefully pour the mixture over the salmon and tomatoes with any spare between the fillets.
- Add a small pinch of salt and pepper over the fillets.
- Fold the excess foil over the tray and fold both sides over to create a seal.
- Pop into the oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until the salmon flakes apart.

While the flavours of this recipe were fantastic, especially with the lemon and rosemary marinade, I found the texture of the salmon a little too soft for my liking. Perhaps I left it in the oven slightly too long, but it didn’t have the firm, flaky texture I was hoping for.
It’s an easy, healthy dish that I’ll definitely make again. Plus, wrapping it in foil meant almost no clean-up
The combination of salmon with fresh tomatoes, olives, and capers gave it a wonderful Mediterranean flair. I particularly loved how the lemon and rosemary infused the fish with such a fresh, zesty aroma.
The yellow bell pepper added a lovely sweetness that balanced out the briny capers and olives. My only tweak would be to add a touch more seasoning to the salmon itself, but otherwise, it was delicious.
I made this Foil Wrapped Salmon with Tomatoes recipe last night, and it was a hit with the whole family. The prep was straightforward, and I loved that everything cooked in one package—no extra dishes
A perfect midweek meal that’s both nutritious and flavourful.
I loved how easy it was to throw together—all the ingredients complement each other really well. My only note is that it could use a little more seasoning to really make the flavours pop. A dash of chilli flakes or more black pepper might do the trick
I made it for a small dinner party, and it was a total success. It’s elegant but doesn’t require a ton of effort. The foil wrapping kept all the flavours sealed in, and everyone raved about how moist the salmon was.
I was looking for a simple yet impressive dinner idea and stumbled upon this recipe. It didn’t disappoint.
The olives and capers brought a lovely tangy-salty contrast, while the lemon slices added brightness. The best part? I didn’t have to worry about standing over the stove, so I could enjoy more time with my friends.
This is a brilliant recipe if you’re short on time but still want a healthy and satisfying meal. The combination of lemon, garlic, and rosemary on the salmon was spot-on, and the tomatoes and bell peppers roasted beautifully in the oven.
One of the simplest recipes for salmon. All.in one pack.and pop in the oven.
