Prepare a large sheet of baking paper, enough to fit a whole fish or fish fillets.

Layer thinly sliced potatoes and the white parts of leek on the baking paper.

Place the salmon fillet on top of the potatoes and season liberally with salt and pepper.

Add minced garlic on top of the fish, followed by sliced shallots, slices of lemon, and the green parts of chopped leek.

Add cherry tomatoes around the sides of the fish.

Pour strained lemon juice (about 3 or 4 tbsp) over the fish.

Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the fish and add sprigs of dill on top.

Cover the fish with another sheet of baking paper and fold the edges to seal tightly.

Transfer to a baking tray and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes at 200°C (no fan).

After baking, cut a few slits at the center of the bag to let out steam.

Open the bag petals and serve, garnished with more dill.
