Baked Salmon in Parchment with Asparagus Lemon and Dill, also known as Salmon en Papillote is easy to prepare and creates a dramatic presentation when served. How to Cook Salmon in Parchment:Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together the butter*, dill, parsley and lemon zest. Set aside…… Fold 4 sheets of parchment paper in half. Place 2 to 3 lemon slices towards the center of each paper….. Place 9 asparagus spears on top of the lemon slices….. Place a salmon filet on top of the asparagus and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper….. Place 2 Tablespoons of the compound butter in the center of each filet….. Fold the parchment paper over the salmon. Starting with one of the small ends, fold the paper over in 1/2-inch increments until you reach the salmon. Fold the second small side the same way, then fold over the large side to create a pouch….. Place the salmon packets on a baking sheet….. Place in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. The pouches will puff up from the steam and start to brown around the edges…. Allow the pouches to cool for five minutes before cutting them open….. The steam is VERY hot so be careful when opening!
