Step 1

Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Drizzle olive oil over salmon. Rub with fingers to coat all sides.

Step 3

Evenly season all sides with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Place each piece of salmon skin side down on individual pieces of parchment paper or foil.

Step 5

Evenly spread garlic and chives on top of salmon.

Step 6

Top each salmon with 2 to 3 slices of lemon.

Step 7

Loosely fold parchment paper or foil into small a pocket enclosing the salmon.

Step 8

Gently place the pockets onto a baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from oven. Carefully open the foil. Garnish with fresh parsley on top.

Step 10

Tip: Allow your salmon to rest like you would a proper steak. Remove from oven at medium rare (12 to 15 minutes), and then allow to rest in pocket for 15 minutes. This will carry over to a perfect medium-cooked salmon. The inside will be flaky and moist without being overcooked.
