As usual, I'm not sure where this recipe comes from, but we make it for small dinner parties. The parcels look so elegant, but the recipe takes no time at all! I make my own pesto with basil and mint for this, but you could use a jar pesto. Fresh is so much nicer tho!

Tips:

Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught salmon if possible, as it has a lower mercury content and a richer flavor than farmed salmon. If you're using farmed salmon, make sure it's sustainably raised.
Season the salmon well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper, as well as other herbs and spices, to flavor the salmon. This will help to bring out the natural flavor of the fish.
Cook the salmon until it's just cooked through: Overcooked salmon is dry and tough, so be careful not to overcook it. The best way to check if the salmon is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fork comes out easily, the salmon is cooked.
Serve the salmon with a variety of sides: Salmon is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also serve it with a sauce, such as a lemon-butter sauce or a dill sauce.

Conclusion:

Salmon parcels are a delicious and easy way to cook salmon. They're perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a variety of flavor combinations to choose from, there's sure to be a salmon parcel recipe that everyone will enjoy.
