As leeks, carrots, and tarragon steam-roast with the fish, the phyllo locks in the flavors and crisps on the outside to form a delicate, crunchy coating. The dish is similar to those cooked en papillote (in parchment), but in this case, the wrapping is edible.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 packet)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (2-inch) julienne-cut leek
- 1/2 cup (2-inch) julienne-cut carrot
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 12 (18 x 14-inch) sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed and divided
- Cooking spray
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, divided
- 4 lemon wedges
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°.
Cook leek and carrot in boiling water 1 minute; drain. Combine leek mixture, tarragon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl, tossing gently. Sprinkle salmon evenly with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Place 1 phyllo sheet on a large cutting board or work surface (cover the remaining dough to prevent drying); lightly coat with cooking spray. Repeat layers twice, ending with phyllo. Gently press phyllo layers together. Lightly coat top phyllo sheet with cooking spray. Arrange 1/4 cup leek mixture along center of 1 short edge of phyllo, leaving a 4-inch border; top with 1 fillet. Drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon juice. Fold long edges of phyllo over fish.
Starting at short edge with 4-inch border, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Place wrapped fish, seam side down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat wrapped fish with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo, cooking spray, leek mixture, salmon, and juice. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned, and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges.
