Parchment-wrapped Salmon (en Papillote)

Cooking salmon in parchment paper is a fool proof method for getting juicy, tender salmon every time. The salmon steams in its own juices and is flavored with thyme and lemon for a light and delicious main.

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).

2. 2

   Fold the parchment paper in half, then open up.

3. 3

   Lay down the salmon. Drizzle oil and sprinkle salt and pepper. Lay lemon slices and thyme on top of the salmon.

4. 4

   Fold the parchment paper over the salmon, and cinch the paper together by folding it over itself along the edges.

5. 5

   Bake for 13-15 minutes or until internal temperature of salmon reaches 145˚F (65˚C).

6. 6

   Enjoy!
