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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Lay out the parchment paper sheets on a clean surface.

Step 3

Place one salmon fillet in the center of each parchment sheet.

Step 4

Divide the zucchini slices, julienned carrot, and cherry tomatoes evenly among the parcels, arranging them around the salmon.

Step 5

Place 2-3 lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet.

Step 6

Sprinkle each parcel with chopped dill and minced garlic.

Step 7

Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over each salmon fillet and vegetables.

Step 8

Season each parcel with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Place the sealed parcels on a large baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 12

Carefully open the parcels (watch for hot steam) and serve immediately, either in the parchment for a beautiful presentation or transferred to a plate.
