Salmon and Green Bean Bundles

Steaming salmon and vegetables in parchment paper is one of the easiest of recipes. Vary this dish with your favourite seafood and whatever vegetables you have on hand. If using harder vegetables like carrots or potatoes, give them a head start by microwaving them in a small amount of water until nearly tender before wrapping them up with the fish.

Extra virgin olive oil

4 salmon fillets

8 oz green beans, trimmed and chopped

2 tsp fresh dill, minced

2 tbsp butter, sliced

4 tbsp dry white wine

Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Lemon wedges

Method/Steps

1. Heat oven to 400˚F.

2. Rub one side of 4 large pieces of parchment paper with olive oil. Lay one salmon fillet and 1/4 of the green beans on each piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle with dill and dot with butter. Pull up sides of parchment paper and spoon wine over each salmon fillet. Salt and pepper to taste.

3. Fold parchment paper to seal. Place in a baking dish. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until fish is cooked through and green beans are tender. Open bundles carefully, placing each on a plate and serve immediately with the lemon wedges.
