Ingredients

FOR THE POUCH

6 Ounces wild skinless salmon filet
2 Asparagus stalks
1/2 Fennel bulb (reserve fronds for sauce)
1/2 Meyer lemon; thinly sliced and seeds removed
1 Tablespoon Meyer lemon juice
1/4 Cup shucked English peas
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Pea sprouts for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste

FOR THE SAUCE

1/4 Cup Greek yogurt
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons fennel fronds; chopped
1 Tablespoon tarragon; chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Fold a large piece of parchment paper diagonally in half to crease it; open, and lay it flat.

    Step 2

    1. Using a mandolin, thinly shave shallots, asparagus, green garlic, and fennel. Slice lemon. Shuck English peas. Combine all the vegetables together and lightly toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper.

    Step 3

    1. On one side of the fold, place the vegetables. Place salmon on top; drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

    Step 4

    1. To close, fold parchment over salmon; fold edges over and crease, in order to create a sealed half-moon-shaped pouch. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until salmon is opaque, 9-12 minutes.

    Step 5

    1. While the packet is cooking, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, fennel fronds, salt and pepper.

    Step 6

    1. Remove pouch from oven, open carefully, finish with fresh pea sprouts and serve with yogurt sauce.
