For a healthy, quick, and easy meal, nothing beats cooking in parchment! Today, we offer you a recipe for salmon paired with carrots and leeks. This foolproof preparation comes with written explanations and photos, all step by step. You will achieve an ultra-tender fish cooked to perfection, and the flavors of the vegetables will be enhanced. Feel free to vary the flavors by changing the ingredients and adding other spices/herbs ;-)

Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets
• 2 carrots
• 1 leek
• salt
• pepper
• thyme

Materials

• parchment paper

Preparation

• Cut a square sheet of parchment paper. Peel the carrots and cut thin slices using a vegetable peeler. Place these slices in the center of the parchment paper.
• Clean the leek and slice it finely. Place half of the sliced leek on top of the carrots.
• Place a salmon fillet on the vegetables. Season with salt, pepper, and sprinkle with thyme.
• Fold the sheet in half, with the salmon in the center, and gradually seal your papillote by folding it into triangles along the edges (as shown in the video under the recipe). Ensure it is well sealed or staple it. The papillote should be airtight.
• Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
• And there you have it, your salmon en papillote is ready!

Observations

Alternatives : you can use other fish and vegetables.
The paper : we recommend using parchment paper over aluminum foil, which can release toxic substances at high temperatures.
