Salmon in Parchment with Citrus Butter
and Julienne Vegetables

Serves 2

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon, lime, or orange zest
2 tablespoons lemon, lime, or orange juice
2 teaspoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, basil, tarragon, cilantro, etc.)
½ cup julienne vegetables (red pepper, leek, carrot, zucchini, snow peas, mushrooms)
2 6-ounce salmon fillets sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Combine the butter, zest, juice, and herbs in a small bowl.

2. Cut out 2 large heart-shaped pieces of parchment paper. Place the vegetables on one side of each heart, place a salmon filet on top, then season with salt and pepper. Top with the flavored butter, then seal by folding the edges of the paper together and twisting the ends. Place the packages on a baking sheet, and bake in a preheated 400° oven for ten minutes, until puffy. Serve at once.
