Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

3. Fold a piece of parchment paper in half and cut it into a heart shape. Brush one half lightly with olive oil. Arrange the carrots on the oiled side, place the salmon on top, and add garlic cloves and lemon rings beside the carrots. Sprinkle with half the herbs, olive oil, salt, paprika, and pepper.
4. Seal the parchment by folding the other half over and crimping the edges to form a tight seal.
5. Bake the salmon for 9 to 11 minutes, depending on thickness. Let it rest briefly before garnishing with green onions and serving.
