These salmon parchment packets are so super easy and delicious! Made with couscous, a delish herby garlic butter and fresh asparagus, they are satisfying and filling, all while being light at the same time. And everyone gets their own little packet to enjoy!
This is how you make an adorable little dinner packet!
These salmon parchment packets are filled with herby, garlicky butter laced couscous, flaky salmon, asparagus and a big hint of lemon.
It’s such a satisfying yet light dinner. And it’s one of those meals that just makes you feel GOOD.
I love making my fish and orzo parchment packets. They are so flavorful and easy, not to mention incredibly versatile. You can really use whatever you have in the fridge or whatever ingredients you love.
Recipes like this tend to be simple to make for everyone. It’s easy to leave ingredients out or choose the vegetables that you love most. You can even switch up the fish used inside.
You know when I love to make this? When I find myself with leftover couscous. Or that could be rice, quinoa, any leftover grain that is hanging out in the fridge. This recipe is PERFECT for that.
Of course, you can also cook the couscous just for this exact recipe. That works too.
Because it’s worth it. A complete little meal in a cute parchment packet.
I love it!
This is how it comes together:
I mix some herbs, scallions, garlic and melted butter in a dish. I could drizzle this on just about anything. I mix a little bit of that into the couscous.
Next, I scoop some of the couscous into the center of the parchment paper. I top that with a few asparagus spears and a piece of raw salmon. The salmon gets covered in salt and pepper, then a big drizzle of the herb butter. (more…)
