Cooking Tips

• Make sure to fold the parchment paper tightly to create a sealed packet, this will help to steam the salmon and keep it moist.
• You can customize the toppings by adding artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, or feta cheese.
• If you don't have parchment paper, you can use aluminum foil instead.
• To check if the salmon is cooked through, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. It should flake easily and be opaque in the center.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the salmon in a microwave-safe dish and heat on medium power for 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through.
• Serve the Mediterranean salmon with a side of roasted vegetables, couscous, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
