Parchment Pouch Surprise

So salmon was on sale today at Publix, and at the moment had no idea what I was going to be making for dinner, so....

2 salmon fillets
1 clove garlic, minced
1 lemon
1 tsp dill
4 Tbsp white wine
1 Tbsp olive oil

Preheat your oven to 350f. Put a piece of salmon in the middle of a sheet of parchment or foil (about 12-18 inches long). Rub with half of the oil, sprinkle on half the garlic and dill, and squeeze on a little lemon juice. Now to make a pouch. Meet the longer sides together above the fish and fold over and over until just touching it. Crease one end and fold the same as the top. Pick up the pouch and tip the open end up and pour in half the wine. Fold that end the same as the other, keeping in mind the increased liquid content.. That's the voice of experience there.. I usually use foil for this, but I wanted to to try parchment this time. I'm sure there's a fancy way to keep the ends closed when using parchment, but a quick staple on each end sure did the trick! Repeat the entire process to the second fillet. Place both pouches on a baking sheet, and cook for about 10 minutes or until the proper and/or desired temperature is reached. Serving can either be done in the pouch or out, but again given the amount of liquid, serving still inside can be messy. I served with homemade garlic mashed red potatoes and steamed snow peas. Hope you enjoy!!
