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.
