Ingredients

  • 1 (2-pound) salmon fillet
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground ginger or garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives pitted and chopped
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained
  • 1/2 cup artichoke hearts
  • 1/4 cup capers
  • 3 sprigs fresh dill chopped
  • 1/3 cup pesto sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and lay a long sheet of parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
  2. Place salmon fillet on top of the parchment paper and sprinkle with sea salt, paprika, ground ginger, and dried dill.
  3. Top salmon with the remaining ingredients, trying to get an even distribution over the full fillet.
  4. Fold the sides and ends of the parchment paper, creating a packet. Secure with kitchen twine.
  5. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through. Thicker cuts of fish will require 25 to 30 minutes.
  6. Remove fish from the oven, cut the twine and un-wrap the parchment paper. Salmon is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Use an instant read thermometer to check the internal temperature by inserting it into the thickest part of the fish.
  7. Cut into individual-size portions and serve with your choice of side dishes.
