the impetus for this post was me using parchment paper for one of my favorite salmon recipes, a simple roasted dill salmon dish - with rice and broccoli, it's a simple family favorite around here:

@tvaziri it's great for arts and crafts cleanup, too. but almost impossible to tape down (fish or no fish)

@mattgriffin @tvaziri if you crumple the parchment paper first, it will lay much flatter.

@tvaziri My partner swears by it. If we run out- “Time for pizza delivery…”

@tvaziri Sorry. I feel I let you down.

@tvaziri We use aluminum foil, do you think it makes a difference to use paper instead?

@tvaziri Same principle as with using a trash-bag on a trash-can, but this time the dirty item is not trash.

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Place mushrooms and peppers in middle of parchment paper-lined baking sheet; drizzle with basting loil and teriyaki sauce. Toss to coat.
3. Season both sides of each salmon with salt and pepper. Arrange salmon in center of baking sheet skinned-side down. Arrange vegetable mixture around salmon.
4. Roast about 15 min until internal temp reaches 130°F (check by inserting thermometer halfway into thickest part of fish).
5. Let rest 2 min; serve.

@tvaziri It comes out perfect every time.

@tvaziri And to add on to this, you can buy parchment paper in sheets instead of rolls and its so much nicer. Already cut to a standard pan size, doesn't curl.
