👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Mix the olive oil, salt and black pepper and spread the mixture over the salmon fillet.
  3. 3
    Cut a large square of parchment paper for each piece, arrange a few of the lemon slices on each square and place the salmon fillet on top.

  4. 4

  5. 5
    Fold the parchment paper over each piece into a tight parcel.

    💡A fillet is done when the flesh is opaque even in the thickest part and flakes when pressed with a fork; a few more minutes in the oven and it dries out.

    Serve immediately in the opened parcels.
