Description

This elegant yet simple dish features tender salmon fillets steamed in parchment paper pockets, infused with the bright, zesty flavors of lime and fresh ginger. The salmon is nestled atop a bed of julienned carrots, leeks, and celery, which soften and sweeten during cooking, absorbing the aromatic juices. The black olive puree adds a subtle depth and saltiness, while fresh basil provides a herbaceous finish. Perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner or a light lunch, this recipe requires minimal cleanup and delivers restaurant-quality results. The sealed parchment ensures the fish stays incredibly moist and flavorful, making it a satisfying meal that feels both indulgent and wholesome.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
  2. Cut four large sheets of parchment paper, each approximately 12 inches wide and 18 inches long, or fold two smaller sheets together to create a double layer.
  3. Place one salmon fillet in the center of each parchment sheet.
  4. Arrange the julienned carrots, leeks, and celery on top of the salmon fillets.
  5. Spoon 1 tablespoon of black olive puree over the vegetables on each fillet.
  6. Scatter the diced tomatoes evenly over the vegetables.
  7. Sprinkle the grated ginger and chopped basil over the tomatoes.
  8. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of lime juice over each packet.
  9. Fold the parchment paper over the filling to create a sealed pocket. Start from one end and fold over, pleating the edges tightly to seal in the steam, continuing until the packet is fully closed.
  10. Place the sealed packets on a baking sheet.
  11. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  12. Remove from the oven and let rest for 1 minute before opening the packets carefully to release steam.
  13. Serve immediately, spooning the juices and vegetables over the salmon.
