Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionPreheat oven to 275°F.
Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-low.
Add onion, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often and reducing heat if onion is browning too fast, until onion is golden brown, 25–30 minutes.
Add olives, capers, raisins, and 2 Tbsp. water to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until olives are softened, about 4 minutes.
Add rum and cook until liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and stir in lime juice and 1 Tbsp. water.
If needed, add a splash or two more of water so mixture is saucy; season with salt.
Season salmon with salt and pepper.
Cut four large sheets of parchment paper.
Working with 1 sheet, spoon one-quarter of sauce onto the center of paper; scatter 1 Tbsp. cilantro over.
Create a well in the sauce the size of a salmon fillet and place fish in well; drizzle with oil.
Gather edges of parchment up and over salmon and tie tightly closed with kitchen twine.
Set on a rimmed baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining parchment paper, sauce, salmon, and 3 Tbsp. cilantro.
Bake packets until salmon is cooked through, 20–22 minutes for medium (go 2 minutes longer for well-done).
Remove from oven and let salmon steam in packets 2 minutes.
Unwrap and top with more cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
Sauce can be made 2 days ahead.
Let cool; cover and chill.
Before using, add water to loosen if it looks tight.
