Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 2 sprigs fresh oregano
• 1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
• 2 (4 ounce) frozen salmon fillets
• 2 (13-inch) parchment paper sheets

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Place 1 salmon fillet in center of each sheet parchment paper. Season fillets with salt and black pepper and drizzle with melted butter; arrange oregano and lemon slices down length of each fillet.

Step 3

Lift 2 opposite sides parchment paper to meet in the middle above fillets; tightly fold paper until it reaches fillets, crimping to seal. Roll and crimp ends to seal. Be sure paper is sealed snugly so steam won't escape during cooking. Secure folds with toothpicks, if desired. Place parchment packets on a rimmed baking sheet.

Step 4

Cook in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Carefully open packets; transfer fillets to serving plates.
