Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. (This will catch any spills.)
Tear off four sheets of parchment paper approximate 18 inches long. Fold up each of the four sides so the orange juice doesn't leak.
Place a portion of salmon in the center of each piece of parchment.
Working with one packet at a time, top each piece of salmon with a pinch of pepper, 1 cup spinach and 1/4 cup oranges with juice.
Fold up the shorter sides, then the longer ones, and tightly roll the paper down, leaving very little extra space inside the packet. Repeat with the remaining packets.
Bake 18-20 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. Remove from oven. Serve with brown rice.
Serving Size: Makes 4 servings; 3 ounces salmon, 1 cup spinach, 1/4 cup oranges, 1/2 cup prepared rice

This is a very nice easy dish. I used some herbs and a bit of grainy mustard on the salmon, and some red bell pepper strips that I had on hand also. Like easy clean up too. Great For parchment learned to make a heart shape and fold over and double fold edges and press hard to crease, stays closed - 3/28/17
