Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat Oven

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2
Prepare the vegetables

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Thinly slice the zucchini and yellow squash. Thinly slice the red onion.

3
Prepare the pesto

In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic cloves, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until a smooth paste forms.

4
Prepare the salmon parcels

Cut four large pieces of parchment paper, about 12 inches square. Place one salmon fillet in the center of each piece of parchment. Spread the pesto evenly over the top of each fillet. Arrange the sliced vegetables on top of the pesto.

5
Seal the parcels

Fold the parchment paper over the salmon and vegetables, and crimp the edges tightly to seal the parcels.

6
Bake the salmon parcels

Place the sealed parcels on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

7
Serve

Serve the Pesto Salmon Parcels hot, opening the parcels at the table to release the delightful aroma.
