Sunset Magazine
List of Ingredients
- 1 cup thinly sliced leek, (about 4 oz), white and pale green parts only
- 4 pieces boned, skinned salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/2 lb fresh chanterelle mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
- 2 tsps olive oil
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cut four 13 x 15-inch rectangles of cooking parchment or foil. Fold each rectangle in half crosswise; starting from fold, cut out a half-heart 7" wide and 13" long. Open each and lay flat. Divide leeks equally among hearts, mounding them on one half of each.
- Rinse salmon and pat dry. Place one piece on each mound of leeks. Top equally with chanterelles. Drizzle each stack with 1/2 tsp olive oil and 1 T wine; sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
- Fold bare half of each parchment heart over fish and vegetable stack so that cut edges meet evenly. Fold and pleat packet edges to seal: starting at top of heart, fold a 1/2" section of edge up and in; holding this section down, fold next section up and in, slightly overlapping first to form a pleat. Continue folding and pleating edge until you reach bottom of heart; twist point to secure. Transfer packets to a 14 x 16-inch baking sheet.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven until a thermometer inserted through parchment into center of fish reaches 140 degrees, about 10 minutes.
- Place each packet on a dinner plate. Open at the table, taking care to avoid steam. Add salt and pepper to taste.
