Ingredients

  • 4 oz green beans

  • 1/16 cup basil pesto

  • ½ lemon sliced thin

  • 8 oz salmon

  • Dash of salt and pepper

  • 1 tbs parsley

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare 2 pieces of parchment paper, each about 12x12”. Fold each piece in half.

  • Place open parchment paper pieces on a sheet pan and place a handful of green beans along the fold of each piece; top with a small spoonful of pesto and 2-3 lemon slices. Season salmon with salt and pepper and place one piece on top of lemons in each packet. Spread a spoonful of pesto over each piece of fish.

  • Fold parchment paper over fish and vegetables, then fold and twist edges under to seal (you should have created a half-moon shape). Repeat with remaining packet and bake for 15-20 minutes.

  • Transfer each packet to a dish and carefully cut a slit to let the steam out. Garnish with parsley and serve with remaining pesto and enjoy!
