Salmon and Vegetables Baked in Parchment

image

Parchment paper is wonderful for cooking seafood and vegetables. It is so easy. Do not let the folding of the paper scare you. As long as it is sealed, it is fine. I just so happened to fold this particular one my own way. Parchment paper may be folded many ways, as long as it seals. We hope you enjoy!
