Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 lemons, thinly sliced
- 4 sprigs of fresh dill (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut four large pieces of parchment paper, big enough to wrap each salmon fillet with some extra space.
- Place a salmon fillet on each piece of parchment paper. Season each fillet with salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet, placing them evenly. Place a sprig of fresh dill on top of each fillet if using.
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, and dried parsley.
- Drizzle the olive oil mixture evenly over each salmon fillet.
- Carefully fold the parchment paper over the salmon, folding the edges tightly to seal the packet completely.
- Place the parchment packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully open the parchment packets (watch out for steam), and transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates.
- Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables. Enjoy your delicious parchment-baked salmon!
