Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 375°F with a rack in the center position. Cut parchment paper into four 15 x 10-inch ovals. Fold in half crosswise.
- 2In a small bowl, combine the butter, tomato paste, brown sugar, garlic powder, oregano, and ⅛ teaspoon salt.
- 3Unfold the parchment sheets. Place 2 lemon slices on one half of each sheet and top each with 1 sprig of the thyme. Place the salmon on top, season all over with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and evenly spread the compound butter over top.
- 4Divide the tomatoes, olives, garlic cloves, and capers around the salmon evenly. Close the parchment by refolding it over the prepared salmon and carefully roll the edges toward the center to seal. Arrange the pouches on a rimmed sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
- 5Transfer the pouches to individual plates. Using a fork, unroll the edges of the parchment, then carefully open the pouches to release the steam and expose the contents.
- 6Sprinkle with pepper, chili flakes, and/or Parmesan and serve alongside rice or pasta, if desired.
