Salmon in Parchment Paper with Assorted Veggies

This recipe is an easy, healthy salmon dish that cooks quick and cleans up easy.

6oz Salmon filet (x # of people), deboned, skin-on
Lemon
Dill
EVOO
Salt
Pepper
Asparagus or Green Beans, cleans and cut to desired length
Carrots, julienne or thicker stick
Capers


1) Heat oven to 450F.
2) Fold a square of parchment paper (12" x 12" +/-).
3) Place Salmon filet ~3" from the crease; this will allow greens on side of salmon towards crease and carrots on opposite side of salmon. Place veggies as per above.
4) Salt and Pepper all at your discretion; sprinkle fresh Dill on Salmon. Brush all lightly with EVOO.
5) Sprinkle 4-8 capers on each filet.
6) Place thin slices of lemon on top of salmon like shingles on a roof.
7) Fold Parchment Paper over and crinkle edges/roll edges to seal the pouch.
8) Place pouches on cookie sheet and place in oven for 12-14 minutes, depending on desired doneness and oven performance.

After taking out of oven, put pouch on a plate and cut open (careful of steam...). Enjoy!

When done the whole pouch can be discarded, making this an easy clean up dish.
