Description

This elegant yet simple Salmon En Papillote delivers a burst of fresh flavors with minimal cleanup. The fish gently steams in its own juices alongside crisp carrots, zucchini, and sweet leeks, creating a moist and aromatic meal. Infused with dry vermouth, Dijon mustard, and bright lemon zest, the dish offers a sophisticated taste profile that feels special without being complicated. It is perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner or a light summer supper.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Cut the carrot, zucchini, and leek into uniform matchstick-sized pieces.
  3. In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the carrot, zucchini, leek, and minced shallots to the skillet.
  5. Sauté the vegetables until slightly tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Stir in the water, dry vermouth, parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, and white pepper.
  7. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes to blend the flavors. Remove from heat.
  8. Cut two 15-inch-long sheets of aluminum foil.
  9. Brush the center of each foil sheet with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil (divided).
  10. Place one salmon steak in the center of each prepared foil sheet.
  11. Spoon half of the vegetable mixture and liquid evenly over each salmon steak.
  12. Fold the foil over the steaks to enclose them completely.
  13. Crimp the edges tightly to seal the packets, ensuring no steam can escape.
  14. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet.
  15. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
  16. Carefully open the packets, allowing the steam to escape away from you.
  17. Transfer the salmon and vegetables to serving plates and serve immediately.
