CHEF JOHN'S SALMON IN PARCHMENT



Chef John's Salmon in Parchment image

Cooking fish in parchment paper is incredibly simple, and yet fairly terrifying for a novice cook. Since the seafood is encased in paper, there's really no good way to check if it's done. The good news: if you use a large, center-cut salmon filet, about 8 or 9 ounces, and cook it for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F, you're going to be very, very close.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     French

Time 55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 teaspoon olive oil, or more if needed
6 small potatoes
10 spears asparagus
2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless, center-cut salmon fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Take two pieces of parchment paper, fold in half, and cut a half-circle starting at each crease. They should look similar to a heart-shape when unfolded. Coat each piece of parchment with olive oil on both sides.
  • Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
  • Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus, and cook uncovered until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the asparagus is cold, drain well, and set aside.
  • Place 1 salmon fillet, half the asparagus, and half the potatoes in the middle of one side of a prepared parchment paper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Fold other half of circle over and seal parchment edge by making overlapping folds around the edge. At the end, fold the last crease in the opposite direction of the rest to ensure it seals. Repeat with the second piece of prepared parchment and remaining ingredients. Place pouches on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting open parchment. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

THE ULTIMATE SALMON IN PARCHMENT



The Ultimate Salmon in Parchment image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 stick unsalted butter
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 fresh red chile, roughly chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fennel seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons coriander seeds, toasted
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, boneless and skin removed
1 lemon, juiced
16 mussels, cleaned and de-bearded
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 scallions, finely sliced, for garnish
1/4 bunch cilantro, for garnish
1 cup couscous
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
4 frozen cubes of chicken stock (about 2 tablespoons per cube)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place 2 sheet trays in oven to warm.
  • To make the curry butter: Combine ingredients in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
  • To prepare the Salmon and Mussels: Begin by making a seasoning with fennel and coriander seed and salt and pepper. Pound spices in a mortar and pestle, or grind with a coffee grinder, until you have a rough powder.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine couscous, cilantro, lemon zest and half the spice mix. Stir well to combine, drizzle with olive oil, then divide evenly among 4 large pieces of parchment (big enough to create a folded pocket for the salmon). Nestle into the couscous 1 frozen chicken stock cube for each portion. Top with the piece of salmon and then sprinkle with remaining spice mix. Squeeze lemon juice over the top of each piece of fish and couscous then set 4 mussels around the fish in each packet. Fold over the parchment to create a pocket and trim paper to make a heart shape. Crimp over the edges, working from one end to the other to secure the paper tightly then brush with olive oil so the paper doesn't burn. Carefully transfer the parchment pockets to the hot sheet trays (you will probably need to put 2 per tray) then bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • When done, the paper will puff up. Cut open tableside with scissors, top with curry butter, and shower with fresh chopped scallions and cilantro.

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     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, seafood, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 (6- to 8-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
Cut vegetables, fresh herbs and/or slices of lemon, lime or orange
Salt and pepper

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut 4 large heart-shaped pieces of parchment paper or foil, and place them on a sheet pan. Fold the parchment or foil in half down the middle, place a fillet with its garnishes and seasonings on one side of each, fold the other side over and crimp the rounded edge tightly closed.
  • Place in oven for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how done you'd like to serve the salmon. The packages should puff up and make for dramatic serving.

Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro, divided, plus more for serving
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°F. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add onion, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often and reducing heat if onion is browning too fast, until onion is golden brown, 25-30 minutes.
  • Add olives, capers, raisins, and 2 Tbsp. water to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until olives are softened, about 4 minutes. Add rum and cook until liquid is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in lime juice and 1 Tbsp. water. If needed, add a splash or two more of water so mixture is saucy; season with salt.
  • Season salmon with salt and pepper. Cut four large sheets of parchment paper. Working with 1 sheet, spoon one-quarter of sauce onto the center of paper; scatter 1 Tbsp. cilantro over. Create a well in the sauce the size of a salmon fillet and place fish in well; drizzle with oil. Gather edges of parchment up and over salmon and tie tightly closed with kitchen twine. Set on a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining parchment paper, sauce, salmon, and 3 Tbsp. cilantro.
  • Bake packets until salmon is cooked through, 20-22 minutes for medium (go 2 minutes longer for well-done). Remove from oven and let salmon steam in packets 2 minutes. Unwrap and top with more cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

SALMON AND ZUCCHINI BAKED IN PARCHMENT



Salmon and Zucchini Baked in Parchment image

Wrap up the day by sitting down to heart-healthy fish "en papillote," a fancy-sounding method that's so simple.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

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
coarse salt and ground pepper
1 skinless salmon fillet (6 to 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • On one side of crease, mound zucchini; top with shallot, butter, dill, and lemon slices. Season with salt and pepper. Place salmon on top; drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
  • 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 (see cooks' note).

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has no odor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and color to your dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. This is a great way to create a unique and flavorful dish.
  • Make sure to seal the parchment paper packets tightly. This will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.

Conclusion:

Salmon in parchment paper is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. It is a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a special occasion dinner. With a little creativity, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family.
