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.
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.
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.
Cook the papillotes in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes.
Remove the papillotes from the oven and let them rest for five minutes.
Make sure to seal the papillote tightly to retain the steam and flavors during cooking.
You can substitute aluminum foil with parchment paper for a more eco-friendly option.
For added flavor, you can include a slice of lemon or orange inside the papillote.
Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen salmon, but make sure to thaw it completely and pat it dry before using.
What can I use instead of aluminum foil?
You can use parchment paper as an alternative to aluminum foil for wrapping the papillote.
Can I add other vegetables to the papillote?
Yes, you can add other vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or asparagus for more variety.
How do I know if the salmon is cooked?
The salmon is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Can I prepare the papillotes in advance?
Yes, you can assemble the papillotes a few hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
