This recipe offers a delightful way to prepare salmon, combining fresh herbs and tomatoes for a flavorful and healthy meal.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and reduces baking time.
Cut four square pieces of parchment paper and lightly coat each with cooking spray.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic, tomatoes, red onion, olive oil, lemon zest, dill, parsley, capers, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Chop the ingredients finely for a more even distribution of flavors.
Place a salmon fillet on each prepared parchment square.
Ensure the salmon is pat dry to avoid excess moisture.
Top each fillet with an equal portion of the herb-tomato mixture.
Spread the mixture evenly for consistent flavor.
Fold the parchment paper over the salmon and seal the edges tightly to form a packet.
Sealing the packets well ensures the salmon steams perfectly.
Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes per inch of salmon thickness.
Check for doneness by ensuring the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully open the packets and serve the salmon with your favorite side dish.
Be cautious of the steam when opening the packets.
