Adam has come to be a big fan of salmon. He loved the pan fried salmon I made a few weeks ago and wanted to make it again. But I just had to try something different.
4 skinless salmon fillets, about 6 oz. each (I left the skin on because after baking it's a nice treat for the pups and Adam)
3/4 pounds green beans and/or asparagus, trimmed
lemon zest from 1 lemon
4 teaspoons capers, rinsed and drained
salt and pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place salmon fillets in center of four 16-inch-long pieces of parchment paper. Top with green beans and/or asparagus, lemon zest and capers. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle each with 1 teaspoon oil. Fold parchment into an envelope - bring long ends of paper together and fold down 3 times to make a seam. Tuck ends underneath to secure.
Place packets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until packets are puffed up and salmon is cooked through - about 15-20 minutes but this all depends on the thickness of the salmon.

All enveloped up...
And done!
I love cooking in parchment packets. So simple, and it really locks in the flavor. Great recipe!
