Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon salt-packed capers, rinsed well and coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 large russet potato (about 1 pound), cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 shallots, thinly sliced
3 ounces (about 1 cup) baby spinach
2 salmon fillets (6 ounces and 1 1/2 inches thick each), skinned
1 lemon, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a rimmed baking sheet in oven to heat. Cut parchment to size.
  • Stir together butter, capers, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Divide potato slices between parchment rectangles, layering them in stacks to form a bed (slightly larger than the salmon fillet) to one side of crease. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Top each bed of potatoes with one quarter of the shallots followed by half the spinach. Place salmon fillets on top of spinach. Divide remaining shallots evenly between packets. Top each salmon fillet with 2 lemon slices (reserve remaining slices for garnish). Dot with caper butter; season with salt and pepper.
  • Fold parchment paper over ingredients, at the crease. Starting with one end of the paper and keeping edges together, make small overlapping pleats the length of the paper, creasing tightly as you go and shaping the edge into an arc. The packet should resemble a half-moon.
  • Carefully transfer packets to preheated baking sheet. Bake until packets have puffed, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer packets to plates. Serve immediately, opening packets at the table. Garnish with remaining lemon slices.

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.

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.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) salmon fillet
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup chopped basil leaves
olive oil cooking spray
1 lemon, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the lowest position in oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place salmon fillet with skin side down in the middle of a large piece of parchment paper; season with salt and black pepper. Cut 2 3-inch slits into the fish with a sharp knife. Stuff chopped basil leaves into the slits. Spray fillet with cooking spray and arrange lemon slices on top.
  • Fold edges of parchment paper over the fish several times to seal into an airtight packet. Place sealed packet onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake fish on the bottom rack of oven until salmon flakes easily and meat is pink and opaque with an interior of slightly darker pink color, about 25 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fillet should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). To serve, cut the parchment paper open and remove lemon slices before plating fish.

Categories     Kid Friendly

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb waxy potato (ones that hold their shape well and don't mush up)
12 ounces spinach
4 skinless salmon fillets (about 1 1/2lb cut into bite-size chunks)
1 onion, finely sliced
1 lemon, finely grated zest
2 ounces butter
2 ounces flour
2 cups milk
1/2 ounce fresh dill, chopped

Steps:

  • Cook the unpeeled potatoes in a pan of boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, put half the spinach in a colander over the sink. Pour over boiling water to wilt the spinach, then refresh in cold water. Repeat with the remaining spinach. Drain and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Set aside in a large bowl, along with the salmon, onion and lemon zest.
  • Make a white sauce. Melt all but 1 tsp of the butter in a pan over a medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the milk. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until thickened. Season, stir in the dill and cool slightly. Pour over the salmon mixture and gently mix. Tip into a deep 2.3-litre (2 1/2 quart) baking dish.
  • Remove and discard the potato peel and slice thinly. Overlap in a single layer on top of the salmon.
  • Chill, cover and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature for 8 hours or until fully thawed.
  • Melt the remaining butter and brush over the potatoes. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6/400°F Bake for 50 minutes, or until hot throughout. Serve with peas.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for bright, vibrant vegetables and firm, flaky fish.
  • Season your food well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. These basic seasonings can really bring out the flavor of your food.
  • Don't overcrowd your parchment paper: When you're wrapping your salmon and vegetables in parchment paper, make sure you don't overcrowd them. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook your salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it's just opaque in the center, about 10-12 minutes.

Conclusion:

Baked salmon in parchment paper is a healthy and delicious way to cook salmon. It's easy to make and cleanup is a breeze. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. You can also experiment with different vegetables and herbs to create your own unique dish.
