Salmon - Veggie Bake

So easy!  And you don't have to worry about a side dish because of all the yummy veggies you cook the salmon with!  I just love the touch of orange in this dish along with the carrots and mushrooms.  Although i'm not an onion fan at all, the green onions added a sort of sweetness to the veggies.
This recipe came from the Better Homes & Gardens New Cook Book

Salmon-Veggie Bake
Ingredients:
1 lb Fresh Salmon Filets
2 cups thinly sliced carrots
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup sliced green onions
2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel (I used a zester)
2 teaspoons fresh oregano
4 cloves garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium oranges, thinly sliced
4 sprigs fresh oregano (optional)
Directions:
In a small saucepan cook carrots in boiling water (covered) for 2 minutes.  Drain and set aside.  In a large bowl combine carrots, mushrooms, green onions, orange peel, oregano, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.  Toss together.  Divide vegetables onto tin foil (one piece per salmon cut).  Place salmon on top of the veggies and top with orange slices and a sprig of oregano.  Fold the foil over the salmon making sure there are no holes (you will want to keep the steam inside the foil).  Bake on a cookie sheet in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes (it took me 15 minutes longer in my oven).  Enjoy!
