Salmon with Fresh Vegetables
  (from Cooking the Nouvelle Cuisine in America)

=====================================================================


2 lbs. salmon fillet (4 large servings) I think steaks would work OK
4 T butter 
1 medium carrot, cut into 2-inch julienne
1 medium stalk celery, cut into 2-inch julienne
4 large mushroom caps, minced
2 medium scallions, cut into 2-inch julienne
1 T minced shallot (or scallions)
1/4 cup heavy cream
salt & pepper

1.  Preheat oven to 325
2.  Butter parchment or foil (one for each serving) and set aside
3.  Cut each fillet in half, making four pieces of salmon, 
     1 to 2 inches thick, depending on the size of the fish.
     Slice each of the four pieces of salmon in half.
     Season with salt & pepper.
4.  Melt the butter in a medium-sized skillet.  When hot, add all the 
     vegetables at once and saute over high heat for 2 minutes.
     Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
5.  Add the cream to the vegetables and stir over high heat until most
     of the moisture has evaporated.  The vegetables should remain crisp.
     Adjust seasonings.
6.  Place a portion of salmon on each of the pieces of parchment and 
     spread each piece of salmon with a portion of cooked vegetables.
     Seal each pouch.
7.  Place the pouches on a baking sheet.  Bake for 10 minutes.
