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.
