Ingredients
Salmon & Seasoning
- 1 Salmon Fillet 6-8 ounces per serving
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground, preferred
- 1/2 tsp Za'Atar
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
Other
- 1 sheet Parchment Paper or baking paper
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice adds brightness, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Parchment
- Cut a large sheet of parchment paper for each salmon fillet. Lightly grease with olive oil.
Assemble the Packets
- Place a salmon fillet in the center of each parchment sheet. Top with zucchini slices and boiled potato quarters.
Season and Seal
- Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice (if using). Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper, and za'atar.
- Fold the parchment paper over to create a sealed packet, crimping the edges tightly to prevent steam from escaping.
Bake
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on fillet thickness.
Serve
- Carefully open the parchment packets to avoid steam burns. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon for 30 minutes before baking.
- Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as asparagus, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes.
- Don't overcrowd the parchment packets; leave some space for the steam to circulate.
- Check the salmon's doneness by gently flaking it with a fork. It should be opaque and easily flake apart.
