Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 zucchini sliced thinly
  • 2 carrots sliced thinly sliced thinly
  • 2 tsp avocado oil or ghee
  • 4 tsp water
  • 2 boneless, skinless salmon filets less than 1 1/4" thick
  • 1 clove garlic diced
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 450F. Toss vegetables with olive oil.
  2. Tear two sheets of parchment paper and fold in half. Open the sheets and place half of the vegetables onto each sheet on one side of the fold. Add 2 teaspoons of water and place a fillet on top. Top with garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Fold the other half of each sheet over the fish, and tightly crimp the edges. Put packets flat on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and check to ensure fish flakes easily with a fork (be careful the steam is hot). Open each pack and place onto plates. Serve & enjoy!
