Equipment

  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon filets
  • 1 medium zucchini sliced into thin coins or diced into ½" cubes
  • ½ small red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ pint cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • 4-6 asparagus spears sliced into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • Olives, sundried tomatoes, or marinated garlic & mushrooms (optional)
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare the vegetables, and place in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoon olive oil and toss with salt and pepper.
    1 medium zucchini, ½ small red onion, ½ pint cherry tomatoes, 4-6 asparagus spears, 3 tablespoon olive oil, salt & pepper
  • On the center of a piece of parchment paper, place a small amount of the vegetable mix in the center, about ¼ cup. Place a salmon filet on top of the veggie pile, then layer on another small pile of veggies, about ¼-1/2 cup, and the olives if using. Repeat for each salmon packet.
    4 salmon filets, Olives, sundried tomatoes, or marinated garlic & mushrooms
  • Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top of each finished salmon and veggie pile, then sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper.
  • Beginning with one corner and then working your way to the other edge, fold over the parchment paper to create a pocket that encloses the salmon and veggies.
  • Place each packet on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes
  • Remove from oven and let packets rest for 5 minutes until some of the steam can escape, and then slowly open each packet and serve.
