Best Salmon Spinach And Potatoes Baked In Parchment Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S SALMON IN PARCHMENT

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.

PARCHMENT GARLIC BUTTER SALMON RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Fold the parchment paper in half, then open up.
• On one half of the parchment, arrange the sliced potatoes. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, and parsley. Drizzle half of the garlic butter mixture over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Lay the salmon over the potatoes, and drizzle over the remaining garlic butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• Fold the parchment paper over the salmon, and cinch the paper together by folding it over itself along the edges.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until internal temperature of salmon reaches 145˚F (63˚C).
• Enjoy!

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.

PARCHMENT BAKED SALMON

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.

SALMON, SPINACH AND DILL POTATO BAKE

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.

SALMON, SPINACH, AND POTATOES BAKED IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to heat. Cut 2 pieces of parchment paper, each measuring 12 × 17 inches.
• Stir together the butter, capers, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl; set aside.
• Divide the potato slices between the 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 the salmon fillets on top of the spinach. Divide the remaining shallots evenly between the packets. Top each salmon fillet with 2 lemon slices (reserve the remaining slices for garnish). Dot with caper butter; season with salt and pepper.
• Fold the parchment paper over ingredients at the crease. Starting with one end of the paper and keeping the 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 the packets to the preheated baking sheet. Bake until the packets have puffed, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer the packets to plates. Serve immediately, opening the packets at the table. Garnish with the remaining lemon slices.
