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
Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
- 2
Fold the parchment paper in half, then open up.
- 3
Lay down the salmon. Drizzle oil and sprinkle salt and pepper. Lay lemon slices and thyme on top of the salmon.
- 4
Fold the parchment paper over the salmon, and cinch the paper together by folding it over itself along the edges.
- 5
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until internal temperature of salmon reaches 145˚F (65˚C).
- 6
Enjoy!
