Salmon En Papillote (Salmon In Paper Parcels)
Serves 2
-
2 salmon fillets (about 200g-250g each)
-
1 small carrot, peeled
-
1/2 small zucchini
-
4-5 white ends of spring onions, about 10 cms or so
-
8 cherry tomatoes
-
1 lemon
-
dash of olive oil
-
Dill
-
salt and pepper
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 190C/374F. Finely julienne the carrot and zucchini into matchstick sized pieces and slice the spring onion ends in half lengthwise. Tear a large length of baking paper and place the julienned vegetables and spring onions in the centre. Add the salmon on top and the cherry tomatoes alongside. Place three slices of lemon on top of the salmon and drizzle with some olive oil and add the dill (I forgot to add this until after the photos-oops!_.
Step 2 - Wrap up like a parcel sealing each open end with a fold. Bake for 15-20 minutes (depending on how thick your salmon fillets are). Unwrap the parcel and season with salt and pepper.
