Leeks are similar to onions, shallots or scallions. They have a wonderful mild fresh flavor. Leeks are in season now and it’s a good time to use them. Here is one way to use them with salmon.

Salmon with Leeks & Parsley

16 oz fillet of salmon
2 leeks, washed and thinly sliced
1/2 cup of parlsey, chopped
3 Tbs olive oil
1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the salmon fillet in an oven-safe container lined with tinfoil. Lightly salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley. Top with leeks. Drizzle with olive oil. And squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon on top. Bake in the oven for roughly 20 minutes or until cooked to desired doneness. The leeks on top should be soft and nicely browned. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.
