Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

parchment paper or aluminum foil, heavy-duty
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 potatoes, medium, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 lb salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
1 cup carrot, julienne-cut 2 "x 1/8-inch x1/8-inch
2 medium tomatoes, seeded, diced
8 sprigs fresh herbs (dill, oregano or basil)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, then cut four 15" rounds of parchment paper. Fold each in half, then unfold & lightly brush 1/2 tsp oil onto each parchment round to within 1" of the edge.
  • Arrange potato slices evenly on half of each parchment round, & sprinkle with half of the salt & pepper.
  • Put salmon on top of that, & sprinkle the remaining salt & pepper, before doing a final top-off with the carrots, tomatoes & 2 herb sprigs.
  • To seal each packet, fold untopped side of parchment round over the topped side. Fold open edge over several times, folding & twisting until packet is completely sealed. Place packets on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets. Carefully unwrap 1 packet to check if fish flakes easily with fork. If not done, re-wrap & continue baking.
  • Remove packets from oven & let stand 5 minutes before serving.
  • Place packets on individual serving plates, then cut an X-shaped slit in the top of each packet. Carefully tear back the paper to serve.
