• 4 (5 – 6 oz) skinless salmon fillets
• 2 small zucchini (13 oz) sliced into half moons
• 2 small yellow squash (13 oz) sliced into half moons
• 2 shallots, 1 thinly sliced and 1 chopped (there are usually two in a whole shallot)

• 2 large Roma tomatoes, diced
• 1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried)

  divide among 4 sheets of foil, placing veggies in center of foil.

• Brush salmon fillets with 1 Tbsp of the olive oil, season bottom side with salt and pepper then place one fillet
  over each layer of veggies on foil. Drizzle lemon juice over salmon and season top with salt and pepper.
