SALMON EN PAPILLOTE

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 to 20 kalamata olives, pitted and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons capers, drained
1 medium shallot (about 2 ounces), thinly sliced
3 ounces red bell pepper (about 1/2 large pepper), thinly sliced
1 3/4 ounces leek (white and tender green parts only from about 1/4 large leek), thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 6-ounce salmon fillets
2 tablespoons anise-flavored liqueur (such as sambuca, pastis or Pernod) or white wine
2 fresh bay leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut two 15-by-24-inch pieces of parchment. Fold each in half crosswise like a book, then cut each into a heart shape. Open the hearts and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a medium bowl, stir to combine the olives, capers, shallot, bell pepper, leeks and garlic. Add the vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil; stir to coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper--the capers and olives add their own saltiness to the mixture.
  • Season both sides of each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place 1 fillet near the fold of each parchment heart. Drizzle each fillet with 1 tablespoon each olive oil and sambuca. Place 1 bay leaf on each fillet then top evenly with the olive mixture.
  • Fold the halves of each heart together, crimping along the edge from top to bottom. When you reach the pointed end, twist it to shut each packet.
  • Bake the packets on the baking sheet until they are slightly puffed and the salmon is cooked, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on plates and carefully cut open the packets at the table.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets
1 lemon, juice only
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 12x18-inch pieces of parchment paper
1 lemon, thinly sliced
½ cup green onions, chopped
8 spears fresh asparagus, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
4 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Rinse salmon fillets in cold water, place onto a plate, and squeeze a lemon over the salmon. Sprinkle fillets with salt and black pepper.
  • Fold a piece of parchment paper in half crosswise, and center a salmon fillet on one side of the paper. Place 1 or 2 lemon slices on top of the salmon, and surround with 2 cut-up asparagus spears. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of green onion over the lemon slices, and fold the parchment paper over the salmon. Fold the edges of the paper over several times, all around the open edges, to seal the salmon into a parchment paper envelope. (Do not tape the parchment paper closed.) Place the sealed envelopes onto a baking sheet, and brush the tops of each packet with about 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the asparagus is tender and the salmon is opaque and slightly flaky, 20 to 25 minutes. To serve, place a packet onto a plate, and cut open the paper to release the aroma.

SALMON EN PAPILLOTE (SALMON IN PARCHMENT)



Salmon en Papillote (Salmon in Parchment) image

Salmon cooked en papillote, which means wrapped in a packet of parchment (or foil), is a dramatic way to procure perfectly cooked salmon, but it isn't difficult. Fold a fillet into a cut piece of parchment, and then layer it with seasonings or perhaps vegetables or citrus fruit. Then simply bake the packets until done. The steam created by the parchment produces reliably moist salmon, and opening the individual packets at the table makes for a fun way to start dinner.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 bulb fennel, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 small Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick
Four 5-ounce skinless salmon fillets
1/4 cup white wine
2 tablespoons butter, separated into 4 pats
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
1/4 shallot, finely minced
1 cup pitted manzanilla olives, rinsed, drained and finely chopped
1 tablespoon capers in brine, rinsed, drained and finely chopped
1 anchovy, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Bring a pot of water to a boil and season with salt.
  • Put the canola oil in a pan set over medium-high heat. Season the fennel with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the fennel and cook on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cook the potato slices in the boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  • Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper into large heart shapes, then fold in half. Lift one side of each parchment heart, put some fennel in the center of the bottom half of each, then shingle the potatoes on top and follow with a piece of salmon. Top each salmon piece with a quarter of the white wine, butter, tarragon and shallots. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Begin to close the parchment pieces by crimping the edges in small folds, continuing to fold over part of the previous fold, until the packets are completely closed. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, depending on your desired doneness.
  • For the tapenade: While the salmon is in the oven, combine the olives, capers, anchovy and garlic in a bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice and honey and mix until combined. Finish with the minced parsley.
  • Open the packets at the table and top each with a spoonful of the tapenade.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught, sustainably-sourced salmon fillets that are about 1 inch thick.
  • Prepare the parchment paper: Cut two pieces of parchment paper that are large enough to wrap the salmon fillets completely. Fold each piece in half and crease it to create a center line.
  • Season the salmon: Drizzle the salmon fillets with olive oil and season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs.
  • Add vegetables and aromatics: Place a layer of vegetables, such as sliced zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or bell peppers, on one side of the parchment paper. Add some herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for extra flavor.
  • Fold and seal the parchment paper: Place the salmon fillets on top of the vegetables. Fold the parchment paper over the salmon, starting from the center crease. Fold the edges of the parchment paper tightly to create a sealed packet.
  • Bake the salmon: Place the parchment paper packets on a baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately: Carefully open the parchment paper packets and serve the salmon with the roasted vegetables.
