Best Cider Mustard Salmon With Vegetables En Papillote Recipes

SALMON, ASPARAGUS, AND LEEK IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cut four 12-by-17-inch pieces of parchment. Fold each in half crosswise to make a crease, then unfold and lay flat. Toss asparagus and leek with oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Season fish with salt and pepper. Arrange a fillet on one side of crease on each piece of parchment. Top with asparagus mixture, dividing evenly. Fold each piece of parchment over, then make small overlapping pleats to seal open sides, creating half-moon-shaped packets.
• Bake on 2 rimmed baking sheets, 10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to plates and carefully cut packets open with kitchen shears (steam will be released). Serve, topped with herbs and squeezed with lemon wedges.

SALMON AND VEGETABLES EN PAPILLOTE

Steps:

• To prepare the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Place 4 sheets of parchment paper on a work surface. Trim the cauliflower and broccoli florets from the stems, discarding the stems, and divide the florets among the parchment sheets.
• Peel the carrot and cut into 1/16-to 1/8-inch-thick round slices. Place some of the carrots on each parchment sheet. Cut the ends off the green beans and cut each bean into 3 or 4 pieces. Arrange some of the beans on each parchment sheet and top with 1 teaspoon of butter. Place 2 thyme sprigs and 1 teaspoon of water on each parchment sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the sides of the parchment to the middle and fold over three times, about 1/2 inch each time. Fold the ends of the parchment and tuck them under the package to loosely enclose the vegetables. Place the vegetable packets on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the salmon: Lay 4 sheets of parchment paper on a work surface and place 1 salmon fillet in the center of each sheet. Cut 2 of the lemons in half, remove the seeds, and squeeze the juice from 1 lemon half on each salmon fillet. Season with salt and pepper and top each fillet with 2 thyme sprigs. Bring the sides of the parchment to the middle and fold over three times, about 1/2 inch each time. Fold the ends of the parchment and tuck them under the package, loosely enclosing the salmon. Add the salmon packets to the baking sheet and bake them for 10 minutes. (If your pieces of salmon are thicker than 3/4 inch, you will need to cook them up to 5 minutes longer.)
• Cut the remaining lemon into 8 wedges.
• Remove the salmon and vegetables from the parchment and arrange them on plates with the lemon wedges.

SALMON AND VEGETABLES EN PAPILLOTE

Steps:

• For the salmon en papillote:
• Preheat the oven to 375°F
• Cut 2 pieces of greaseproof paper, measuring about 9in square. Drizzle with olive oil.
• Sprinkle over the garlic, chili and shallot and arrange the vegetables and salmon fillets on top. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap up the paper to form parcels, folding the edges to seal. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile cook the potatoes.
• For the crushed new potatoes:
• Boil the potatoes until they are just cooked (but not soft). Mash roughly with the back of a fork and place on a lightly oiled baking tray. Sprinkle with the crushed fennel seeds.
• Turn up the oven to its highest setting and roast the potatoes until crisp and golden. Sprinkle with dill and serve with the parcels of salmon.

SALMON EN PAPILLOTE (SALMON IN PARCHMENT)

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut 4 large heart-shaped pieces of parchment paper or foil, and place them on a sheet pan. Fold the parchment or foil in half down the middle, place a fillet with its garnishes and seasonings on one side of each, fold the other side over and crimp the rounded edge tightly closed.
• Place in oven for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how done you'd like to serve the salmon. The packages should puff up and make for dramatic serving.

SALMON EN PAPILLOTE WITH ASPARAGUS, ICICLE RADISH AND MEYER LEMON HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the fish: Place 2 lemon slices in the center of a large square of parchment. Lay a piece of fish on top. Sprinkle with salt and top with 1 tablespoon butter and half the thyme. Fold the parchment paper over the fish and carefully twist and seal into a packet, being careful not to move the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining fillet of salmon, butter and thyme. Brush the outside of the parchment packets with the olive oil and place on a sheet pan.
• For the vegetables: Spread the asparagus and radishes on a second sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil.
• Place the pan with the fish on the middle rack of the oven. Place the pan with the vegetables on the top rack. Bake until the fish is cooked to an internal temperature of 120 degrees F and the vegetables are cooked to crisp-tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the vegetables.
• For the hollandaise: Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and a splash of water in a blender. Blend on high for about 30 seconds to incorporate everything and froth up the yolks. Turn the blender to medium speed and slowly drizzle in the butter. This will emulsify the butter into the eggs and complete the hollandaise sauce. Add the mustard and blend just to combine.
• Gently remove the fish from the parchment envelopes and place on a rack fitted inside a sheet pan. Gently spoon an even layer of the hollandaise over the fish. Arrange the asparagus, radishes and salmon roe around the edges of 2 plates. Sprinkle with the chives. Place a piece of fish in the center of each plate in the middle of the vegetables. Garnish the plates with watercress before serving.
