Wrapping the salmon fillets in parchment paper traps steam and helps keep the fish moist. This is great with spinach or broccolini sautéed with lemon and garlic, or atop a bed of couscous.
Ingredients:
1 (1-pound) fennel bulb, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 carrots, julienned (cut into thin strips)
4 (6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
1 lemon, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup white wine
2 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt, to taste
freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Cut out 4 (12- x 16-inch) pieces parchment paper, and place on a baking sheet. Blanch fennel and carrot in boiling water 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
2. Divide fennel and carrot evenly among parchment pieces. Place 1 salmon fillet on each, then top with lemon, capers, and chives. Drizzle each with wine and olive oil; sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. Fold parchment to enclose salmon; twist ends to secure.
3. Bake at 400° for 14 to 16 minutes or until cooked through. Salmon should be slightly translucent in center.
