Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut 4 sheets parchment paper each measuring 12 by 16 inches. Working with 1 sheet at a time, lay 1/4 of the fennel in the center; season with salt and pepper. Place 1 salmon fillet on top; drizzle with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Top fish with 1 piece of lemon, 1 piece of orange, and sprinkle with 1/4 of the fronds.
- Hold long ends of paper together. Make a 1/2-inch fold and crease. Continue making 1/2-inch folds in the same direction until you reach the surface of the salmon. Make a 1-inch fold on each end of the 2 short ends and crease; fold short ends under fish and place on a baking sheet. Repeat process until all parchment has been filled. Bake until fish is just cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Transfer packet to a plate and carefully cut open parchment. Serve salmon immediately in parchment packet sprinkled with parsley, if desired.

Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the lowest position in oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place salmon fillet with skin side down in the middle of a large piece of parchment paper; season with salt and black pepper. Cut 2 3-inch slits into the fish with a sharp knife. Stuff chopped basil leaves into the slits. Spray fillet with cooking spray and arrange lemon slices on top.
- Fold edges of parchment paper over the fish several times to seal into an airtight packet. Place sealed packet onto a baking sheet.
- Bake fish on the bottom rack of oven until salmon flakes easily and meat is pink and opaque with an interior of slightly darker pink color, about 25 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fillet should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). To serve, cut the parchment paper open and remove lemon slices before plating fish.

SALMON IN PARCHMENT
