Chef John's Salmon in Parchment
Cooking fish in parchment paper is incredibly simple, and yet fairly terrifying for a novice cook. Since the seafood is encased in paper, there's really no good way to check if it's done. The good news, with this recipe—Chef John's salmon in parchment—if you use a large, center-cut salmon fillet, about 8 or 9 ounces, and cook it for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F, you're going to be very, very close.
