Ingredients
- Parchment paper or heavy-duty foil
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 lb. salmon fillets, cut into 4 pieces
- 1 cup julienne-cut (2x1/8x1/8-inch) carrots
- 2 medium tomatoes, seeded, diced
- 8 sprigs of fresh herbs (such as dill, oregano or basil)
Instructions

Step1Heat oven to 400°F. Cut four 15-inch rounds of parchment paper. Fold each in half; unfold. Lightly brush 1/2 teaspoon oil onto each parchment round to within 1 inch of edge.
-
Step2Arrange potato slices evenly on half of each parchment round. Sprinkle with half of the salt and pepper. Top each with salmon; sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Top each with carrots, tomatoes and 2 herb sprigs.

Step3To seal each packet, fold untopped side of parchment round over topped side. Fold open edge over several times, folding and twisting until packet is completely sealed. Place packets on ungreased cookie sheet.
