What do I need?
- 500 g salmon fillets, cut into 4 pieces
- 2 small zucchini
- 1 red capsicum
- 120 g black pitted olives
- 250 g cherry tomatoes
- 2 lemons
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
How do I make it?
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- Cut zucchini and capsicum into bite-sized pieces. Chop tomatoes and olives in half. Cut lemons into quarters.
- Cut/tear a piece of baking paper to approximately 30 x 40 centimetre size. Fold paper in half, then cut folded paper into a half heart shape. Repeat three times so that you have four pieces of baking paper ready to use.
- Open each piece of baking paper, you should have a full heart shaped. Divide the chopped zucchini, capsicum, tomatoes and olives between the sheets of paper, positioning them on one side of the fold. Add a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Lay the salmon, skin-side down on top of the vegetables and season, then add a lemon wedge to each parcel.
- Fold the empty half of the paper over the ingredients and work around the heart shape to fold the edges and create a seal. When you reach the last fold, twist the baking paper several times to make a tight seal and fold it under the parcel.
- Place parcels in a baking tray and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the fish is cooked to your liking.
- Serve with remaining lemon wedges.
