Method
 

How to Make Mediterranean Salmon in Parchment Paper
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Grab a large baking sheet and line it with a long piece of parchment paper to create a cozy cooking environment for the salmon.
  2. Place the salmon fillet onto the parchment paper. Sprinkle sea salt, paprika, ground ginger, and dried dill evenly over the top.
  3. Top the salmon with the kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and capers.
  4. Fold the parchment paper around the salmon, securing the sides and ends to form a little packet.
  5. Bake in the center of your preheated oven for 20 minutes. If your salmon fillet is thick, give it an extra 5-10 minutes.
  6. Test the salmon's doneness by carefully cutting the twine and unwrapping the parchment.
  7. Serve the salmon in individual portions, pairing it with your favorite sides.
