Prep Time: 10 min.
Cooking Time: 12 min.
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:
4 (4-oz.) raw salmon steaks, rinsed, patted dry
Sea salt and ground black pepper (to taste; optional)
½ cup chopped fresh pineapple
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

 Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 400° F.
2. Cut parchment paper into four circles about 12-inches in diameter each. Fold each circle in half. Place on a baking sheet. Place a salmon steak in the center of each parchment half circle. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
3. Top salmon evenly with pineapple, shallots, and cilantro. Fold the other half of the parchment over the ingredients and crimp the edges to seal. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Be careful when opening pouches as steam will be released.
