Baked Salmon, Shiitake and Asparagus

I eat salmon about once a week, it’s always easy to cook, it’s healthy and I always enjoy it. But since I eat it so often, I like to come up with slightly different ways to cook it to keep things interesting. This is also why you will see so many salmon recipes in my collection. 

My salmon of choice is either Wild Salmon or New Zealand Ora King.

In this easy dinner recipe, we wrap all ingredients in a nice little package made of baking paper. This is a technique of cooking that originated in France and it allows all the flavours and aromatics to meld together and infuse the salmon. It also prevents the salmon from drying out. 

Hands open the bake paper parcel, with salmon, mushroom and asparagus.

And what I love about it is that it is so low-fuss because everything goes into one and then you eat it. No need for excessive sides or much preparation. And it’s on the table in half an hour. Win!
