Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 1 medium, thinly sliced zucchini
- 1 medium, julienned carrot
- 10 whole cherry tomatoes
- 1 sliced into thin rounds lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 sheets (approximately 12x16 inches each) parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lay out the parchment paper sheets on a clean surface.
Place one salmon fillet in the center of each parchment sheet.
Divide the zucchini slices, julienned carrot, and cherry tomatoes evenly among the parcels, arranging them around the salmon.
Place 2-3 lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet.
Sprinkle each parcel with chopped dill and minced garlic.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each salmon fillet and vegetables.
Season each parcel with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper.
Fold the parchment sheet over the salmon and vegetables to form a sealed packet. Tightly fold the edges to prevent steam from escaping during baking.
Place the sealed parcels on a large baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the parcels (watch for hot steam) and serve immediately, either in the parchment for a beautiful presentation or transferred to a plate.
