How to make Salmon Papillote

  1. Step 1

    Cut the salmon into fillets and remove the skin. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, and place each piece on a sheet of aluminum foil.

  2. Step 2

    In a skillet, melt two tablespoons of butter and sauté the chopped onion, leek, and cherry tomatoes for five minutes. Remove from heat and season with thyme, rosemary, and lemon juice.

  3. Step 3

    Add a portion of the sautéed vegetables on top of each piece of salmon, then wrap each one into a papillote (a sealed packet). Place the papillotes on a baking tray.

  4. Step 4

    Cook the papillotes in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the papillotes from the oven and let them rest for five minutes.
