Fast Salmon and Scallops Fins Herbes

This is incredibly fast and delicious. These days you can get outstanding quality frozen seafood, certainly suitable for fast weeknight dinners, if not for the ultimate special guest occasion. I like Trader Joes's frozen seafood, but there are many, many other sources as well.

4 ¼ lb frozen skinned salmon fillets
1 lb frozen sea scallops
4 pads butter
2 Tbsp minced red Bermuda onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
Palmful fresh mint, minced
Palmful fresh oregano, minced
About 6 fresh sage leaves, minced
Other minced fresh herbs that you like
2 Tbsp olive oil
¼ cup dry white wine
juice of ½ lemon

Preheat oven to 400F. Arrange the salmon fillets on top of a pad of butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Scatter the scallops about the fillets. Stir together the onion, garlic, herbs with the oil and top the seafood evenly with the herb mixture. Pour the wine and the lemon juice over the fish. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20-30 minutes. Uncover and bake another 10 minutes or just until seafood is cooked.

This is great served over cheese ravioli.
