Salmon, sweet potato & fennel packets
Skinless salmon steams in parchment over pre-softened sweet potato and fennel with lemon and dill.
Ingredients
Volumes are approximate. For baking, use a scale; Metric keeps the specified gram weights.
Let’s make it
- Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Put sweet potato, fennel and measured water in a wide lidded skillet. Cover and steam over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring once, until the slices bend and a knife enters with slight resistance. Retain any pan liquid.
- Prepare four large parchment sheets on two baking trays. Divide vegetables and liquid equally among them. Set one salmon fillet on each mound. Divide oil, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper equally over the packets.
- Fold each parchment sheet over the food and crimp the edges tightly, leaving a little room for steam. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Open a packet carefully away from your face and measure the thickest center: salmon must reach 145°F (63°C), and the vegetables should be tender. Reseal and cook longer if needed.
- Stand for 3 minutes, then open away from hands and face to avoid steam. Serve one complete packet per portion, including its juices. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours, use within 3-4 days and reheat to 165°F (74°C). Do not use parchment under a broiler or against an oven element.

Calculation notes & sources
ESTIMATED per serving. Brand, crop, preparation, draining, pan residue and substitutions change actual nutrition. Not laboratory analysis. Raw or dry food profiles match pre-cooking edible masses. All listed oil and retained cooking liquid are counted. Cooking moisture changes do not change the stated portion count. No generic nutrient-retention factor is invented. Calories are kcal; protein, total carbohydrate, fat and total sugar are grams. Total carbohydrate includes fiber and is not net carbohydrate. Fiber and sodium are not displayed. Equal portions define yield; counted breadsticks, polenta batons, pear halves and pancakes are explicitly divided. US/Metric display changes do not change these canonical inputs. Primary-source supplements are retained per ingredient where USDA lacks a field; missing values are never silently changed to zero.
