Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter, cut into pieces
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 lemon slice, halved, plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
coarse salt and ground pepper
1 skinless salmon fillet (6 to 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fold a large piece of parchment paper (about 15 by 16 inches) in half to crease it; open, and lay it flat.
  • On one side of crease, mound zucchini; top with shallot, butter, dill, and lemon slices. Season with salt and pepper. Place salmon on top; drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
  • To close, fold parchment over salmon; make small overlapping pleats to seal the open sides and create a half-moon-shaped packet. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until salmon is opaque throughout, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve (see cooks' note).

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon and garlic to the sauce, and it was much better. The salmon and zucchini were cooked well, but the overall flavor was just a bit too subtle for me.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but this recipe changed my mind. The zucchini was cooked perfectly and had a nice caramelized flavor. The salmon was also cooked well and the lemon-herb sauce was a great addition. Overall, this was a great recipe and I

5 stars! This recipe was easy to follow and the end result was delicious. The salmon was flaky and moist, and the zucchini was tender and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a total hit! The salmon and zucchini were cooked perfectly and the lemon-herb sauce was divine. I served it with a side of roasted potatoes and it was a complete meal. I will definitely be making this again.
