Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes
• 3 cups baby spinach
• 1 cup (sliced) cremini or button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 whole (zested and juiced) lemon
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper
• 1 sheet (large enough to wrap salmon) parchment paper or foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Prepare a large sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets in the center of the parchment paper or foil, leaving space around each piece.

Step 5

Scatter the grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, and baby spinach around and partially over the salmon fillets.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Optionally, add a few rosemary or thyme leaves to the mixture for extra flavor.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over the salmon fillets and vegetables.

Step 8

Fold the parchment paper or foil over the salmon and vegetables to create a sealed packet. Ensure the edges are tightly closed to seal in the steam and flavors.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet with the packet into the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Carefully open the packet (be cautious of steam) and transfer the salmon and vegetables to plates.

Step 11

Serve immediately with an extra squeeze of lemon, if desired.
