🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Parchment Paper:

• Cut two large sheets of parchment paper (about 12 inches long). You’ll be folding them over the salmon like an envelope.

3. Assemble the Packets:

• Place a salmon fillet in the center of each parchment sheet.

• Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.

• Add minced garlic and top with lemon slices and rosemary or thyme sprigs.

• Fold the parchment over the salmon, crimping the edges to seal the packet tightly, ensuring no steam can escape.

4. Bake:

• Place the parchment packets on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes (depending on thickness of fillets) or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

5. Serve:

• Open the parchment carefully (watch for steam!) and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve directly in the parchment for a rustic presentation or transfer to plates.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

• Pair with steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a light salad.

• Serve with a side of roasted potatoes or rice for a heartier meal.
