A delicious and easy restaurant-quality salmon dish full of protein and nutrients. Prepare ahead in no time and impress dinner guests!

Ingredients
-
4 salmon fillets, about 110g (1/4 lb) each
1 tbsp canola oil (needed to help the fish absorb the flavours)
1 tbsp rosemary (fresh is best, but dried works as well)
2 lemons
3 limes
Tips
The best thing about this recipe is the ability to prepare it in advance. If you have company coming, prepare it ahead in a glass baking dish and let it marinate in the fridge until it's almost dinnertime, then let it sit out while the oven preheats to bring it back to room temperature and bake. The other great thing is that it is harder to dry out the salmon in cooking because the parchment paper holds in the moisture. This means perfectly cooked salmon every time with little fuss!
Directions
Measure oil and rosemary into a small bowl. Zest one of the lemons and two of the limes and add zest to bowl. Squeeze zested lemon and limes into the mixture to add fresh juice and stir.
Cut the other lemon into 4 slices and the other lime into 4 slices and put aside. Place salmon fillets on generously-sized individual pieces of parchment paper on top of a cookie sheet or glass baking dish and make a few shallow cuts in the top of each to help the marinade penetrate the fish. Spoon 1/4 of the marinade onto the top of each fillet and top each with a slice of lemon and a slice of lime. Fold parchment paper securely around each fillet, flip over so that the folded-up side is down, and let sit to marinate for 10 minutes while oven preheats to 400F.
Bake salmon in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then flip packets of salmon over and slide fillets with slices of lemon and lime on top out of parchment paper packets and onto plates for a real restaurant-quality look. Garnish with fresh rosemary, if desired. Serve with rice and vegetables.
