A phenomenally easy and elegant main course to serve to your guest. The steam escapes from the packets of fish and al-dent vegetables. This one never fails to please. And easy to clean up as the parchment paper is non stick and goes right into the trash!
Position racks in the center and top third of the oven and preheat to 375°F. Cut four 14-inch-wide pieces of parchment paper and fold each in half lengthwise. Cut out a wide curve from each piece of parchment, so when it is unfolded you have a heart shape about 12 inches wide.
Mix the carrot, leek, zucchini, tomatoes, shallots, parsley, and tarragon in a medium bowl, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Brush each piece of parchment with olive oil. Place a salmon fillet on the bottom half of each heart and season the fillet with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the vegetables evenly over the top of each fillet. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons each of olive oil and wine over each fillet. Fold the top half of each heart down, and crimp the edges tightly to seal.
Place the parchment hearts on 2 baking sheets. Bake until the parchment is lightly browned, about 12 minutes for medium-rare salmon, 18 for well done. (I would never recommend well done salmon, but this recipe makes it so juicy it is hard to tell it is well done!)
Place each parchment heart on a dinner plate. Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Let your guests pierce open their parchment hearts with the tip of a sharp knife (provide scissors, if you wish), being careful of any escaping steam.

Take your time. Crimp the edges of the packets to ensure they seal. Don't cook well done, but even if you do, it will be delicious.
An elegant presentation.
