["Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.", "Season salmon fillets with some salt, grains of paradise and juniper berries.", "Prepare four 12-inch pieces of parchment paper or heavy-duty aluminum foil, cut into 12"" rounds. You can also use a double layer of regular aluminum foil. Set aside.", "In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetables and wine to a boil. Reduce by half. Bring the saucepan off the heat, and stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter.", "Spread about a half-tablespoon softened butter on each piece of parchment/foil. Place salmon just below the center of the parchment/foil. Place some of the vegetable mixture over. Sprinkle with salt, grains of paradise (or pepper), and juniper berries.", "Fold over the top of the parchment/foil, like a pizza calzone, and fold and crimp along the edges to seal tightly. Place packages on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.", "When done, carefully tear open the top of the parchment/foil (I use kitchen shears) and sprinkle the salmon and veggies with a little fresh dill."]
