Salmon Cooked in Parchment Paper

There are many different ways to cook salmon. One Turkish method is to cook fish in parchment paper. The fish comes out juicy and yummy. If you have never tried this method, give it a try. You can also try it with other fatty fish.

Although this recipe cooks all of the fish together, it looks much better if you present it individually. Just divide ingredients equally, wrap and cook them separately.

Some boiled potatoes make a great accompaniment to this dish.

This one is another one of my mother's recipes. If you do try this, please let me know what you think.
