Salmon en papillote, or salmon cooked in parchment paper, is so easy to make yet so delicious, elegant and impressive. —Dahlia Abrams, Detroit, Michigan

Ingredients

6 orange slices
6 lime slices
6 salmon fillets (4 ounces each)
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and halved
Olive oil-flavored cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Cut parchment or heavy-duty foil into six 15x10-in. pieces; fold in half. Arrange citrus slices on 1 side of each piece. Top with fish and asparagus. Spritz with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and parsley. Drizzle with lemon juice.
2. Fold parchment over fish; draw edges together and crimp with fingers to form tightly sealed packets. Place in baking pans.
3. Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Open packets carefully to allow steam to escape.
