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.

    This was so easy and the salmon was incredibly moist! My family loved it!

  • Makenna Feeney

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

  • Erich Crooks

    I added some capers and a splash of white wine to the packets – delicious!

  • Estella Wardbradtke

    The parchment paper made for easy cleanup. Will definitely make this again.
