Step 1 Prepare parchment packet
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Fold parchment sheets in half so that the new size is 10×7. Cut a half-heart shape from the folded side with using as much of the parchment as possible.
Open parchment and place vegetables inside, dividing evenly between the four parchment sheets. Place salmon fillets atop vegetables. Blend sherry, oil, salt, and pepper, divide equally between the four parchment preparations.
Garnish with lemon slices and thyme. Bring edges together and fold edges to seal in contents, starting with the rounded side of the parchment and ending at the point.
