Citrus Salmon en Papillote

Cultural Context

Citrus Salmon en Papillote is a delightful dish that showcases the technique of cooking fish in parchment paper, which helps retain moisture and flavor. This method is rooted in French cuisine but has been embraced in American cooking for its simplicity and health benefits. The combination of citrus fruits and fresh herbs enhances the salmon's natural flavors, making it a popular choice for weeknight dinners and special occasions alike.

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

2

Cut two large pieces of parchment paper, approximately 12 by 18 inches each.

3

Place a salmon fillet on one half of each parchment paper.

4

Season the salmon with salt and pepper to taste.

5

Arrange a few slices of lemon and orange on top of each salmon fillet.

6

Add a couple of sprigs of fresh dill and thyme on top.

7

Drizzle each salmon fillet with a tablespoon of olive oil.

8

Fold the other half of the parchment paper over the salmon fillet.

9

Starting from one corner, tightly fold and crimp the edges of the parchment paper, creating a sealed packet.

10

Place the salmon packets on a baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven.

11

Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

12

Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon rest for a few minutes.

13

To serve, carefully open the parchment paper packets, being cautious of the hot steam.

14

Transfer the salmon fillets onto plates, garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired, and serve immediately.
