Description
A healthy and flavorful dish featuring salmon fillets baked in parchment paper with ginger, soy sauce, and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 zucchini, thinly sliced
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 lime, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut two large pieces of parchment paper, about 15 inches long each, and fold them in half to create a crease. Unfold the parchment and lay it flat on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- On one half of each piece of parchment, layer the sliced red bell pepper, zucchini, and snap peas. Season the vegetables with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place a salmon fillet on top of the vegetables on each parchment piece. Drizzle half of the soy sauce mixture over each fillet. Top with sliced lime and sprinkle with green onions.
- Fold the parchment over the salmon and vegetables to create a sealed packet. Start at one end and make small folds along the edge, sealing tightly to prevent steam from escaping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully open the packets (watch out for steam) and serve the salmon and vegetables directly in the parchment or transfer to plates.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the soy sauce mixture.
- Feel free to substitute the vegetables with your favorites, such as asparagus, carrots, or broccoli.
