Salmon en Papillote

This is a very healthy method for cooking anything. It  is steaming  itself inside of that pouch. Very versatile,  you can add any variations you like.

1 salmon fillet 4-6 ounces

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes

1 tsp. lemon juice + zest

1 Tablespoon pesto

Salt & Pepper

Parchment paper

Heat oven to 425 degrees.

Cut a 15" x 15" piece of parchment. Fold it in half & cut out a half heart shape.  Season the salmon with salt, pepper & lemon zest. Open the heart and place vegetables and salmon on one side. Top with pesto and lemon juice.

Fold over the parchment. Then beginning at the top, start making small overlapping folds around the ingredients. Crease tightly to ensure a tight seal. Bake 10-12 minutes.

All ready to be wrapped

This is how it should look when folded
