Salmon in Parchment Paper (thanks to our friends at Fitness Together Gunbarrel Pointe!)
Yield: 4 servings (Serving size: 1 salmon filet)
Ingredients
4 skinless salmon filets (6 oz. each)
¾ pound fresh green beans, trimmed
12 strips of lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
4 tsp. capers (rinsed and drained)
Coarse salt and ground pepper to taste
4 tsp. Extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 400?F. Tear off four 1 ½ foot long pieces of parchment paper (available at the supermarket next to the aluminum foil). Place salmon filets in the center of each parchment paper.

Place packets on a baking sheet and cook for approximately 15 minutes until salmon is cooked.
