EN PAPILLOTE

Last week I decided to make salmon and ended up making salmon en papillote. It was crazy quick and easy to make. Cooking en papillote is a form of french cooking and essentially means cooking in paper or parchment. At first I was scared it would all fall out, it was ridiculously easy. 

I got this easy recipe from Everyday Food and they also have a video that was super helpful when it came folding it was pretty darn good with some rice. The last picture is from Everyday Food. Doesn't it just look so tasty?!


Salmon en Papillote

  • 1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1 lemon slice, halved, plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice 
  • 1 skinless salmon fillet (6 to 8 ounces) 
  • coarse salt and pepper 

  • STEP 1
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fold a large piece of parchment paper (about 15 by 16 inches) in half to crease it; open, and lay it flat.
  2. STEP 2

    On one side of crease, mound zucchini; top with shallot, butter, dill, and lemon slices. Season with salt and pepper. Placesalmon on top; drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. STEP 3

    To close, fold parchment over salmon; make small overlapping pleats to seal the open sides and create a half-moon-shaped packet. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until salmon is opaque throughout, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve.
