Ingredients
  

  • 1 2-pound salmon fillet, skin-on or skinless
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup artichoke hearts, quartered
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 3 sprigs fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup pesto sauce store-bought or homemade

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small bowl for mixing spices
  • Cutting board & knife
  • Instant-read thermometer for checking doneness

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and set a large sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  2. Mix sea salt, paprika, ground ginger, and dried dill in a small bowl; sprinkle over the salmon fillet.
  3. Top the salmon with chopped olives, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and capers; finish with chopped fresh dill and pesto sauce.
  4. Fold the parchment paper tightly around the salmon to create a sealed packet, leaving room for steam.
  5. Bake the packet for about 20 minutes. If the fillet is thicker, extend the time to 25-30 minutes.
  6. Let the packet sit for 1-2 minutes after baking, then carefully cut it open and serve.
