Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a rimmed baking sheet in oven to heat. Cut parchment to size.
- Stir together butter, capers, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl; set aside.
- Divide potato slices between parchment rectangles, layering them in stacks to form a bed (slightly larger than the salmon fillet) to one side of crease. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top each bed of potatoes with one quarter of the shallots followed by half the spinach. Place salmon fillets on top of spinach. Divide remaining shallots evenly between packets. Top each salmon fillet with 2 lemon slices (reserve remaining slices for garnish). Dot with caper butter; season with salt and pepper.
- Fold parchment paper over ingredients, at the crease. Starting with one end of the paper and keeping edges together, make small overlapping pleats the length of the paper, creasing tightly as you go and shaping the edge into an arc. The packet should resemble a half-moon.
- Carefully transfer packets to preheated baking sheet. Bake until packets have puffed, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer packets to plates. Serve immediately, opening packets at the table. Garnish with remaining lemon slices.
CHEF JOHN'S SALMON IN PARCHMENT
Cooking fish in parchment paper is incredibly simple, and yet fairly terrifying for a novice cook. Since the seafood is encased in paper, there's really no good way to check if it's done. The good news: if you use a large, center-cut salmon filet, about 8 or 9 ounces, and cook it for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F, you're going to be very, very close.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Take two pieces of parchment paper, fold in half, and cut a half-circle starting at each crease. They should look similar to a heart-shape when unfolded. Coat each piece of parchment with olive oil on both sides.
- Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus, and cook uncovered until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the asparagus is cold, drain well, and set aside.
- Place 1 salmon fillet, half the asparagus, and half the potatoes in the middle of one side of a prepared parchment paper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Fold other half of circle over and seal parchment edge by making overlapping folds around the edge. At the end, fold the last crease in the opposite direction of the rest to ensure it seals. Repeat with the second piece of prepared parchment and remaining ingredients. Place pouches on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting open parchment. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the lowest position in oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place salmon fillet with skin side down in the middle of a large piece of parchment paper; season with salt and black pepper. Cut 2 3-inch slits into the fish with a sharp knife. Stuff chopped basil leaves into the slits. Spray fillet with cooking spray and arrange lemon slices on top.
- Fold edges of parchment paper over the fish several times to seal into an airtight packet. Place sealed packet onto a baking sheet.
- Bake fish on the bottom rack of oven until salmon flakes easily and meat is pink and opaque with an interior of slightly darker pink color, about 25 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fillet should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). To serve, cut the parchment paper open and remove lemon slices before plating fish.

Steps:
- Take Butter, capers and garlic and mix together. Set aside Start the stack with 1 sliced red potatoe, place the slices in two rows overlapping slightly on a large peice of parchment paper. sprink with sliced leeks, layer the spinach leaves on top of the leeks, lay the salmon fillet on top of the spinach,( the amount of spinach you choose to use may vary, I put a large mound of it because there is so much shrinkage) sprinkle more leeks on top of the salmon, top with a slice of lemon and a tablespoon of the butter mixture. Fold the parchment paper to create a closed envelope around the Salmon Stack. The salmon bakes quickly, the potatoes usually take a little longer. Repeat for 2nd salmon fillet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 min. Very good, Very Healthy (except maybe the butter) Steaming the fish in the parchment makes the fish very moist and tender.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Stir together the panko, dill, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of the melted butter in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Butter the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Layer half the potatoes, overlapping, to cover the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with half of the feta and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Repeat, topping with the remaining potatoes, feta and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Combine the broth and 1 tablespoon of the melted butter in a small bowl and pour over the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake until the potatoes are just softened, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the salmon into 2- to 3-inch pieces. Toss the salmon with the lemon juice and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and uncover. Increase the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the salmon on the potatoes and sprinkle with the panko mixture. Bake, uncovered, until the salmon is cooked through and the panko is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Garnish with dill sprigs.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your dish.
- Don't overcrowd the parchment paper. Leave some space between the salmon, spinach, and potatoes so that they can cook evenly.
- Fold the parchment paper tightly. This will help to create a steamy environment inside the packet, which will cook the food more quickly and evenly.
- Bake the packet at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust on the salmon and potatoes.
- Serve the salmon, spinach, and potatoes immediately. This is when they will be at their best.
Conclusion:
Salmon, spinach, and potatoes baked in parchment paper is a healthy and delicious meal that is easy to make. It is a great way to enjoy fresh, seasonal ingredients. This dish is also a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins.
