Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Rinse salmon fillets in cold water, place onto a plate, and squeeze a lemon over the salmon. Sprinkle fillets with salt and black pepper.
- Fold a piece of parchment paper in half crosswise, and center a salmon fillet on one side of the paper. Place 1 or 2 lemon slices on top of the salmon, and surround with 2 cut-up asparagus spears. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of green onion over the lemon slices, and fold the parchment paper over the salmon. Fold the edges of the paper over several times, all around the open edges, to seal the salmon into a parchment paper envelope. (Do not tape the parchment paper closed.) Place the sealed envelopes onto a baking sheet, and brush the tops of each packet with about 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the asparagus is tender and the salmon is opaque and slightly flaky, 20 to 25 minutes. To serve, place a packet onto a plate, and cut open the paper to release the aroma.

SALMON EN PAPILLOTE (SALMON IN PARCHMENT)
Salmon cooked en papillote, which means wrapped in a packet of parchment (or foil), is a dramatic way to procure perfectly cooked salmon, but it isn't difficult. Fold a fillet into a cut piece of parchment, and then layer it with seasonings or perhaps vegetables or citrus fruit. Then simply bake the packets until done. The steam created by the parchment produces reliably moist salmon, and opening the individual packets at the table makes for a fun way to start dinner.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut 4 large heart-shaped pieces of parchment paper or foil, and place them on a sheet pan. Fold the parchment or foil in half down the middle, place a fillet with its garnishes and seasonings on one side of each, fold the other side over and crimp the rounded edge tightly closed.
- Place in oven for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how done you'd like to serve the salmon. The packages should puff up and make for dramatic serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut two 15-by-24-inch pieces of parchment. Fold each in half crosswise like a book, then cut each into a heart shape. Open the hearts and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, stir to combine the olives, capers, shallot, bell pepper, leeks and garlic. Add the vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil; stir to coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper--the capers and olives add their own saltiness to the mixture.
- Season both sides of each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place 1 fillet near the fold of each parchment heart. Drizzle each fillet with 1 tablespoon each olive oil and sambuca. Place 1 bay leaf on each fillet then top evenly with the olive mixture.
- Fold the halves of each heart together, crimping along the edge from top to bottom. When you reach the pointed end, twist it to shut each packet.
- Bake the packets on the baking sheet until they are slightly puffed and the salmon is cooked, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on plates and carefully cut open the packets at the table.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Place the spinach on the baking paper. Add the chilies, 3/4 of the mushrooms and the asparagus and season with some pepper.
- Place the salmon on top of asparagus and add the grated ginger and season with more pepper. Top the salmon with the rest of the mushrooms.
- Fold the paper over to enclose the filling. Fold in the edge to seal, leaving a gap of approx 3cm.
- Mix the wet ingredients into a 'dressing'. Adjust to taste.
- Pour the 'dressing' inside the paper through the gap. Now you can fold in the rest of the paper. The dressing will help keep the salmon moist and will add flavor to the dish.

SALMON AND VEGETABLES EN PAPILLOTE
Steps:
- To prepare the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place 4 sheets of parchment paper on a work surface. Trim the cauliflower and broccoli florets from the stems, discarding the stems, and divide the florets among the parchment sheets.
- Peel the carrot and cut into 1/16-to 1/8-inch-thick round slices. Place some of the carrots on each parchment sheet. Cut the ends off the green beans and cut each bean into 3 or 4 pieces. Arrange some of the beans on each parchment sheet and top with 1 teaspoon of butter. Place 2 thyme sprigs and 1 teaspoon of water on each parchment sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the sides of the parchment to the middle and fold over three times, about 1/2 inch each time. Fold the ends of the parchment and tuck them under the package to loosely enclose the vegetables. Place the vegetable packets on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the salmon: Lay 4 sheets of parchment paper on a work surface and place 1 salmon fillet in the center of each sheet. Cut 2 of the lemons in half, remove the seeds, and squeeze the juice from 1 lemon half on each salmon fillet. Season with salt and pepper and top each fillet with 2 thyme sprigs. Bring the sides of the parchment to the middle and fold over three times, about 1/2 inch each time. Fold the ends of the parchment and tuck them under the package, loosely enclosing the salmon. Add the salmon packets to the baking sheet and bake them for 10 minutes. (If your pieces of salmon are thicker than 3/4 inch, you will need to cook them up to 5 minutes longer.)
