Ingredients:
8 ounces baby spinach
1 tablespoon grated orange zest, plus 3 oranges, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch thick rounds
4 skinless salmon fillets (1 1/2 pounds total)
2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin strips (1/4 cup)
1 shallot, thinly sliced
S&P
EVOO
Take 4 pieces of parchment paper. Divide the spinach and add the orange zest on top and then the orange slices. I only used 2 oranges myself for 4 packets as I knew my kids wouldn't eat them. |
Fold down the parchment paper lengthwise and then tuck under creating little packets. I labeled each of my packets because my kids got less spinach and seasonings due to their pickiness. |
Cook for 15 min. I really think it would be done in 10-12 as mine was a touch dry. |
Ways to alter this recipe:
-I had leeks to use so I swapped those in place of the shallots. You could also sub in green onions or leave out onions all together. Chives or dill would be good here too in addition or instead of the onions.
-Use lemon in place of the orange zest and slices. I wouldn't do lime slices, but lime zest would be yummy too.
-I keep ginger in my freezer so I just grated that on top of my salmon instead of cutting into nice sticks.
-When drizzling with EVOO add some fresh lemon or orange juice on top too.
-If you don't like Salmon then swap with halibut or tilapia which are super mild fish. Depending on the thickness you may need even less time in the oven-especially the tilapia.
Wow, that looks delicious! We have some frozen salmon fillets in the freezer. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them. Now I know! thanks for sharing!
