I’m hoping that this will be useful for all of the cookie lovers out there who are unable to consume flour.

Ingredients
- 2 (5 ounce) salmon fillets or steaks
- 2 tablespoons frozen green peas
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 dashes lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Place each piece of salmon on a large (12 inch) circle of parchment paper so that they are 1 inch from the center. Cover each with a spoonful of peas, a clove of crushed garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil. Fold the paper over into a packet and seal the edges by crimping and folding like a pasty. Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish is able to flake with a fork. To serve, place the packets onto serving plates and cut open the center in the shape of a cross.

Reviews
Yes and it was easy, quick and delicious. I think I might add a little salt and pepper next time but that’s s all.
Being pretty new to cooking salmon, I found this easy and a little more interesting than some recipes. It tasted great!
I liked how easy it was, but we both thought it was a little boring. Probably not making again.
My salmon turned out overdone and the other ingredients didn’t really impart much flavour.
We liked it. I added a little Old Bay seasoning. We had it with carrots and baked pumpkin. We will definitely use this recipe again. Thanks
Perfect! Lots of flavor! I make this all the time as my family loves it! I use the toaster oven so as not to heat up the whole house. Thanks you for sharing!
good. i just used squares of parchment, which might have helped the ease of keeping it folded. (folded long edge first, then really rolled up the short ends.) the only drawback was i had to unroll everything to test if it was done. not super flavorful, but good enough.
Great recipe! Thanks
Simple but delicious. I really liked the addition of basil, but the lemon and olive oil gives the fish plenty of flavor. We steamed some broccoli on the side as I love the broccoli/salmon combo. Enjoy!
I used foil instead of parchment, so I needed to bake for about 30 minutes.
This took a little longer than listed and in the time that it took to cook the fish the peas were ruined. Not too much flavor either, I won’t be making this one again.
mmmm delicious! it did come out a little dry however
I used green beans instead of peas (just what I had). Turned out flakey and yummy! 15 minutes was perfect. Per another review, I also covered my paper with foil as well.
This was good. The first bite was really good, nice flavor, but as I went on it seemed like the flavor left. I liked how it was easy, barely any clean up. I didn’t do the peas but if I do try it again I will try it.
I have just made this for lunch and it was perfect. I will always cook Salmon this way now. I cooked for 20 mins instead of 15 and it was lovely.
Very easy and clean. But, as someone else noted, 450 is too hot. I used 300 F for around 20 minutes. I also used a thermometer and took it out once it reached 140F. It was cooked perfectly!
Great recipe….however I use red onion instead of peas and add capers and a some minced garlic… great flavor! P.S. you can use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper ( whatever that is!)
At the age of 2 1/2 years we moved from Boise to the Puget Sound area. Dad worked at the Naval Torpedo Base, Keyport and soon learned to fish for fish. Salmon was a favorite and graced the family table many times over the years. If there is a way to prepare this wonderful, mild and flavorful fish, I have most likely had it. However, the paper method provided a real treat. The flesh maintained is moist and delicate natural flavor. I added a half a pearl onion on each half to added a sweet extra to the flavor. I might try a slice of naval orange the next time. Like the citric acid in the lemon enlivens the flavor, an the orange should give the same effect if not a bit sweeter. This recipe will grace our table many times in the furture.
I like this recipe. I changed it though and used capers instead of peas for a stronger flavor. One of my favorites.
Amazing. The only change I made was to add some capers with the peas. Definitely something I’d serve to guests.
I used butter instead of oil, added a bit more lemon juice and used fresh asparagus spears instead of peas. This recipe is an easy, no muss, no fuss meal after a 12 hour work day!
