How to Make Parchment Baked Salmon with Zucchini and Tomatoes

First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prep a large baking sheet by cutting a piece of parchment twice the length of the sheet pan.

Second, place the thinly sliced zucchini, halved grape tomatoes, dill and parsley on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.

Third, place the salmon on top of the zucchini and tomatoes, drizzle with oil, salt pepper. Top with more dill.

Forth, fold extra parchment over the salmon and fold the sides to seal.

Firth, bake the salmon for 25-35 minute. The time your salmon cooks will depend on the size and thickness of your salmon. I will poke my thermometer right through the parchment to check the temperature of the salmon. Salmon is done when opaque inside and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lastly, serve with rice and an extra drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
