Bridget Batson’s Weekly Running Recipe- Week 5
7 Minute Salmon
You will need:
A 400 degree oven and parchment paper
2 salmon steaks, 5 oz each
2 dill sprigs
1 T Meyer lemon zest
2 T olive oil
1 cup fennel, thinly shaved
water ( or a splash of wine ! )
salt & pepper
Cut the parchment paper into two 14 x 14 inch pieces. Divide the fennel in half and place ¾ of the way up the paper. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and place on top of the fennel. Sprinkle with the olive oil, Meyer lemon zest, dill sprigs and a splash of liquid. Fold the parchment paper in half. Twist the edges of the paper together forming a half moon. Place on a sheet tray and into the oven. Bake for 7 minutes. The liquid inside of the paper should be bubbling when done. Tear open a corner and slide the salmon out.
This is wonderful served over roasted Yukon gold potatoes or a mixed green salad.
