Salmon & Tomatoes En Papillote

Nana and I are on week 2 of a lovely vacation on Martha's Vineyard. We originally intended to post last week but took one look at the kitchen of our rental and agreed that we were not risking any deposit on beets.  Way too much white ! 
 

But salmon is another story - especially when visiting
 a fishing community.  We enjoyed visiting the picturesque
 town of Menemsha and purchasing our fresh salmon
 from one of the adorable little fish markets. 

Menemsha is a gorgeous little fishing village
with an active marina, beautiful beach and little
 fish shops where folks not only purchase "to go"....
but also buy prepared food which they
 promptly sit and enjoy. 

The sunsets are perhaps the best part of this location

 since the beach faces Vineyard Sound, which allows you to 

see the sun setting over the horizon of water.

  The gentle waves here are as though you are on a lake,

 as opposed to the typical crashing

 waves on the ocean side of the island. 

It just makes everything taste a little bit better. 

 Not that this salmon needed any help......

Per Nana and Tricia-

This was as easy as we anticipated. 

Chop a few choice ingredients and make packets in

tin foil to be baked at high temperature. 

Most of the ingredients we bought fresh from
the local market here and even found some
 organic red scallions that werebeautiful and
 added a nice additional color to the dish.

So easy, yet Nana and I had not
prepared salmon this way before. 

But we will be again. 

 We especially like the idea of preparing this all in

 advance when you have company coming - and

simply being able to bake it quickly. 

As usual, Dorie made a great Friday even better ~

PS:  Instead of enjoying Dorie's beets last Friday,
we indulged in fresh lobster rolls from the
weekly fundraiser at the Grace Church
 of Vineyard Haven. 

 Not French, but definitely wonderful ~
