"Those who have cooked fish in foil in the past will know what a great method this is and for those who haven't may want to give it a try to see what you are missing!---you will need heavy-duty foil for this, for the best flavor I would recommend not to omit or substitute any ingredients you may adjust all amounts to suit taste."

Not a favorite. I felt the flavor of the salmon got lost with all the other ingrediants

This was good, and so easy, but it wasn't as fabulous as I expected. The flavors didn't seem to blend together as I'd hoped they might. Still, you can't beat the easy cleanup and quick preparation. I might choose these again if I'm in a hurry.

A great meal for a starving college girl! I didn't have lemon pepper, so I squeezed fresh lemon juice on the fish then added regular pepper plus everything else. I also used regular canned tomatoes because I'm cheap like that. I didn't have time to toast the pine nuts, but the meal tasted fine.

Absolutely fabulous! Let me tell you my story...Hurricane Ike walloped Ohio and we have now been without hot water and power for 5 days. All of my food started to defrost and I had printed up this recipe to try of Kitten's. A delicious lifesaver!!! We couldn't believe we were eating so good (and so easy!) in a very trying time! Kitten to the rescue for me yet again. Still at least 4 more days for me without hot water and power...will be searching for more yummy winner's just like this! I made 2 large salmon fillets, used dried dill, and used up my kalamata's (since I was going to have to throw them out anyway!) rather than black olives. Added lots of feta and did not toast the pine nuts. AMAZING! Served with grilled potato packets as well. Thank you again Kitten! Another permanent recipe in my recipe file!

What a DELICIOUS way to cook salmon! I didn't have pine nuts so I used sliced almonds but other than that followed exactly. Thanks Kitten fo another winner!
