SALMON, ASPARAGUS, AND LEEK IN PARCHMENT
Cooking fresh salmon en papillote (that is, in parchment) is a messproof way to coax the most flavor from the fish without adding a lot of oil or butter -- and it's pretty much impossible to dry the salmon out with this cooking method.This recipe is one of our Better Basics: 10 New Takes on Family Favorites, see the others.

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.

- Heat oven to 180°C Put the leeks, ginger & garlic into a large saucepan with 3 tbsp water and a small knobs of butter. Cover, then cook for 5-10 mins until tender. Remove from the pan, allow to cool, then mix with the lemon, parsley & spinach. 

To assemble the parcels, spray a sheet of pastry with oil, then lay 2 more sheets on top, spraying oil between each layer. Do the same with remaining 3 sheets, then cut in half. Place 100g of salmon in the centre, season, then spoon over quarter of the leek mix, white sauce and grated cheese. Bring up 2 edges of pastry over the salmon to enclose. Brush the open ends with butter/oil, and fold up and over to seal. Put on a baking sheet and brush with butter.
