:Prepping:

- Heat oven or toaster oven to 175*C/ 350*F.
- Wrap salmon fillet in aluminum foil: put fillet in the middle of the aluminum square, skin side down, fold the top and bottom up and close tightly, then close the left and right sides. Salmon will cook/steam in own juices.
- Boil water for the pasta.
:Cooking:
- Cook pasta according to instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Bake wrapped salmon in the oven for 15-20 min.
- While the salmon is baking, sauté mirepoix in lightly oiled large pan until onion transparent.
- Add shrimp to mirepoix and stir in butter. Cook only for a minute or two until shrimp begins to change color from gray to pink. You will need to work fast in the next couple of minutes, not to overcook the shrimp.

- Remove sauté pan from the heat.
- Remove salmon from the oven; open the aluminum envelope, peel the salmon skin and separate the fillet to four-five chunks.
