July 9th, 2018 by Debbie Martilotta

Ingredients

4 cups thinly sliced vegetables (carrots, zucchini, fennel, celery, leeks, asparagus, scallions, snow pea pods, tomatoes, kale, collard greens, etc.)
4 – 6-ounce salmon fillets (works well with chicken breasts too)
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (e.g., chives, fennel, dill, tarragon, parsley, oregano)
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
On each parchment piece, arrange 1 cup of mixed veggies.
Top with a salmon fillet, and sprinkle with herbs, lemon zest and juice, salt, and pepper.
Fold the edge of the parchment bag over two or three times and crimp to seal.
Place the packets on a baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow to sit for five minutes. Cut each packet open and serve.
