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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275°F. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add onion, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often and reducing heat if onion is browning too fast, until onion is golden brown, 25-30 minutes.
- Add olives, capers, raisins, and 2 Tbsp. water to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until olives are softened, about 4 minutes. Add rum and cook until liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in lime juice and 1 Tbsp. water. If needed, add a splash or two more of water so mixture is saucy; season with salt.
- Season salmon with salt and pepper. Cut four large sheets of parchment paper. Working with 1 sheet, spoon one-quarter of sauce onto the center of paper; scatter 1 Tbsp. cilantro over. Create a well in the sauce the size of a salmon fillet and place fish in well; drizzle with oil. Gather edges of parchment up and over salmon and tie tightly closed with kitchen twine. Set on a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining parchment paper, sauce, salmon, and 3 Tbsp. cilantro.
- Bake packets until salmon is cooked through, 20-22 minutes for medium (go 2 minutes longer for well-done). Remove from oven and let salmon steam in packets 2 minutes. Unwrap and top with more cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
- Do Ahead
- Sauce can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Before using, add water to loosen if it looks tight.

SALMON IN RICE PAPER WITH SWEET & SPICY SAKE ESSENCE
Steps:
- Sake essence In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine the sake, mirin, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and chili, bring to a boil over high heat and reduce to about 1/2 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the peppers, zucchini, and carrot until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce and vegetables to the sake essence; set aside and keep warm. Salmon Remove skin, if not already done. Sprinkle both sides of each salmon fillet with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little of the vegetable oil, using 1 tbsp total for the four fillets. Take a dish large enough to submerge the rice wrapper. Fill with hot tap water. Soak rice wrappers (one at a time) for 10-20 seconds in the water, just enough to soften and become pliable. Wrap each fillet in rice paper folding to make a little package. Heat the remaining 3 tbsp oil in a heavy, 12-inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat until it's hot and shimmering but not smoking. Put the wrapped fillets in the skillet, seam side down, without touching each other, and saute, turning to brown top and bottom, until the rice paper is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side; don't overcook. Transfer to paper towels and let drain. Stir the chopped cilantro into the sake essence and spoon some onto each of four warm places. Put salmon fillet in the center of each plate, top with a cilantro spring and serve at once.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: For the best results, choose a salmon fillet that is at least 1 inch thick and has the skin on. The skin will help to keep the salmon moist during cooking.
- Season the salmon liberally: Don't be afraid to season the salmon generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Use a good quality parchment paper: Not all parchment papers are created equal. Choose a parchment paper that is nonstick and heat-resistant up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Fold the parchment paper packets carefully: Make sure to fold the parchment paper packets tightly so that the salmon is completely enclosed. This will help to prevent the fish from drying out.
- Cook the salmon at a high temperature: Cooking the salmon at a high temperature will help to quickly cook the fish and prevent it from becoming overcooked.
Conclusion:
Baked salmon in parchment paper is a simple and delicious way to cook this healthy fish. This cooking method is easy to do and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. Whether you like your salmon cooked rare, medium, or well-done, this method will give you perfectly cooked salmon every time.
