Salmon is a popular fish for baking in parchment as it cooks quickly and evenly in this method. Parchment baking is a great way of cooking salmon as it creates a moist and flavorful dish, and is a healthy way to cook salmon as it reduces the need for added fats. It is also a versatile method that can be used with a variety of flavors and ingredients. The parchment paper seals in the flavors and prevents the salmon from drying out. It also makes it easy to clean up, as the parchment paper catches all the juices and drippings.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality salmon: Choose wild-caught, sustainably sourced Atlantic salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use fresh herbs and vegetables: Incorporate aromatic herbs like dill and parsley, and colorful vegetables like carrots and zucchini, to enhance the flavor profile of the dish.
  • Season generously: Don't shy away from using salt and pepper to taste. Season both the salmon and the vegetables liberally to ensure a well-balanced flavor.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Aim for an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, which is the recommended doneness for salmon.
  • Let the salmon rest: Once cooked, allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps redistribute the juices and prevent the fish from becoming dry.
  • Serve with flavorful accompaniments: Consider serving the baked salmon with a zesty lemon butter sauce, a tangy tartar sauce, or a refreshing salsa verde. These accompaniments will complement the delicate flavor of the salmon perfectly.
