Salmon, Leeks, Carrots and Tarragon in Filo Packets

Valentine's Day Dinner turned Tuesday Night Dinner

What you'll need:

1 roll of filo dough - defrosted
a few tbs of olive oil
1 large Salmon filet
a handful of tarragon minced
1 carrot cut into thin 1 inch sticks (or shredded)
the chopped whites of 2 leeks

Layer about 4 sheets of filo dough basting with olive oil between sheets. Cover the remaining filo dough with a damp towel to keep it from drying out.
Cut the salmon filet into 3 palm sized, or smaller, portions.
Place one portion of salmon in the middle of the layred filo dough.
Cover salmon with about 1/3 of the chopped leeks and carrots and sprinkle chopped tarragon on top.
Wrap the sides of the filo dough over the salmon and then gently roll the samon into the excess filo dough to form a loose roll. Place seam side down on a metal pan and brush olive oil over the top and sides.
Repeat for the other 2 salmon portions.

Bake in a 375 degree oven until the filo dough is golden brown.

While the salmon was cooking I buttered some french bread and served with a mixed salad.

**We learned during our second Valentines Day dinner that if you serve this with beet salad... you really do not want to leave out honey** ;)
