Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Cut 4 x 12 in (30 cm) squares of parchment paper. Fold each square in half, then cut a heart shape out of each using as much parchment as possible.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the tamari sauce, garlic, honey, and toasted sesame oil. Microwave this mixture on high for 30 seconds.
  • Chop 6 of the green onions into 2 in (5 cm) pieces. Place the green onion pieces, red and green bell peppers, and ginger on one side of each parchment heart. Sprinkle them with salt and black pepper.
  • Place a salmon filet on each heart on top of the vegetable mixture. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the tamari sauce mixture over each salmon filet and then sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
  • Fold the parchment hearts closed and crimp the edges to seal the packets. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake in the hot oven for 12 to 15 minutes until they are slightly puffed and the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Open 1 package to check the salmon is cooked.
  • While the packets are baking, thinly slice the remaining green onions.
  • To serve, open the packets at the table and top each with the sliced green onions.
