Roasted Salmon Wrapped in Swiss Chard

Roasted Salmon Wrapped in Swiss Chard

Salmon in swiss chardCoarse salt and ground pepper

2 T. unsalted butter, room temperature

2 T. finely chopped fresh tarragon

2 tsp. grated lemon zest, plus 1 T. juice (from 1 lemon)

4 Swiss chard, stalks trimmed

4 (6 to 8 oz. each) skinless salmon fillets

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil; set aside. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, combine butter, tarragon, and lemon zest in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper, and set aside. Place chard leaves in boiling water; cook until tender, about4 minutes. Using tongs, remove leaves from water, and lay them flat on prepared baking sheet. Place one fillet on top of a leaf, near tip; repeat with remaining fillets. Sprinkle fish with lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Dividing evenly, spread butter mixture over each fillet, and wrap leaf around, tucking stalk underneath to secure. Roast until just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve.
