Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare 4 pieces of parchment paper, each about 12x12". Fold each piece in half.
  2. Place open parchment pieces on a sheet pan and place a handful of green beans along the fold of each piece; top with a small spoonful of pesto and 2 to 3 lemon slices. Season salmon with salt and pepper and place one piece on top of lemons in each packet. Spread a spoonful of pesto over each piece of fish.
  3. Fold parchment over fish and vegetables, then fold and twist edges under to seal (you should create a half-moon shape). Repeat with remaining packets and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Transfer each parchment packet to a dish and carefully cut a slit to let out steam. Garnish with parsley and serve with remaining pesto sauce. Enjoy!
