Salmon and Summer Squash in Parchment
- 1 lemon
- 2 medium yellow summer squash
- 1 small shallot
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano leaves
- 1 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
- 6 piece Parchment paper
- 2 medium zucchini
- 6 piece skinless salmon fillet
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. From lemon, grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice.
- In medium bowl, combine lemon juice, yellow squash, shallot, oregano, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper.
- Place parchment rectangles on work surface with a short side of parchment closest to you.
- On half of each parchment rectangle, arrange one-sixth of zucchini slices lengthwise, overlapping slightly, 2 inches from edge closest to you.
- Place salmon on zucchini; sprinkle with lemon peel and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then top with yellow-squash mixture.
- Fold other half of parchment over ingredients.
- To seal packets, begin at 1 corner and tightly fold edges of paper over about 1/2 inch all around, overlapping the folds.
- Place packets on large cookie sheet.
- Bake 17 minutes or until salmon turns opaque throughout (to check for doneness, open 1 packet first, being careful to avoid escaping steam).
- To serve, carefully cut all packets open, and with spatula, gently transfer salmon and vegetables to 6 dinner plates.
- Spoon any liquid remaining in parchment over salmon and vegetables.
