How to Make Salmon With Sage Butter Root Vegetables In Parchment

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Clean 1 leek, removing tough green tops. Thinly slice the tender white and light green parts.
  3. Cut 1 medium carrot and 1 medium parsnip into 1/2-inch long, 1/4-inch wide matchsticks.
  4. Slice 8 oz crimini mushrooms in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch slices.
  5. In a food processor, combine 4 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tbsp fresh sage leaves, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Pulse until smooth.
  6. Gently mix the prepared vegetables together.
  7. On a large sheet of parchment paper, create a nest in the center about the size of your salmon fillet.
  8. Place the vegetable mixture in the nest. Top with 1/3 of the sage-butter mixture.
  9. Place a 6-oz salmon fillet on top of the vegetables. Spread the remaining sage-butter mixture evenly over the salmon.
  10. Sprinkle 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives over the salmon.
  11. Fold the other side of the parchment paper over the salmon, creating a sealed packet. Roll and crimp the edges to create a tight half-moon shape.
  12. Place the packet on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes for a thin fillet, or 20-30 minutes for a thicker fillet.
  13. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  14. To serve, place the packet on a plate. Cut two slashes on top of the paper in an 'X' shape.
  15. Carefully peel back the parchment paper and enjoy!
