This is one of my favorite meals. Salmon (esp. skin on) is packed full of great heart healthy fats. This meal is easy to put in the oven when you get home from a long day and need a real meal. I like to swap out the spices frequently, sometimes its dill, or thyme, or tarragon. Feel free to get creative with the spice usage.
You can usually tell the salmon is done by picking up the parchment packet. The fish will sit firmly in the packet. When its not quite done its softer when picked up.
Rinse and pat the salmon dry. Place each piece of salmon on a sheet of parchment paper. Look for parchment paper that is safe up to 400 or 450. Add salt and pepper to taste
Lay 3 sprigs of thyme on each piece of salmon.
Sprinkle each salmon with the diced leeks and parsley. Drizzle each piece with EVOO.
Lay the lemons (in rounds or quarters) across the top of everything and top it off with a tab of butter.
Fold each parchment paper up around the salmon like an envelope then staple a few times to seal it up.
Bake at 400 for 28-32 minutes. The fish will flake easily and the center will be opaque when its done.
Just cut the top off the parchment paper, leave the sides stapled together, and serve! This is such a delicious treat!
