Salmon steamed in paper parcels, also known as salmon en papillote, is a delicate and flavorful dish that highlights the natural taste of the fish while infusing it with aromatic herbs and spices. To prepare this dish, fresh salmon fillets are seasoned with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice, then placed on a bed of thinly sliced vegetables such as onions, carrots, and zucchini. The fillets are sealed in parchment paper or aluminum foil parcels along with herbs like dill, parsley, or thyme, and a splash of white wine or broth to keep the fish moist during cooking. As the parcels are steamed in the oven, the salmon gently cooks to perfection, locking in its moisture and absorbing the fragrant flavors of the herbs and vegetables. The result is tender, flaky salmon with a subtle hint of citrus and herbs, making it a light and elegant meal that is as impressive as it is delicious.
