Fold the parchment paper over the salmon to form a half-moon shape. Seal the edges by tightly crimping and folding them over, creating a sealed packet, much like a pasty. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent steam from escaping. (7 minutes)

Place the parchment packets on a baking sheet. (2 minutes)
06 Step

15 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets. (15 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. To serve, place each packet on a serving plate. Cut open the center of the packet in a cross shape, allowing the fragrant steam to escape. Serve immediately.
For enhanced flavor, consider adding thinly sliced lemon rounds or a pat of butter to each packet before sealing.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables! Asparagus tips, thinly sliced zucchini, or bell peppers would all be delicious additions.
Ensure the parchment paper is well-sealed to trap the steam and cook the salmon evenly.
The cooking time can be adjusted based on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Check for doneness by gently flaking the fish with a fork.

Jul 16, 2024I found that 15 minutes was a little too long for my thinner fillets. I'll reduce the cooking time next time.
