Sesame Ginger Salmon En Papillote Recipes

Steps:

• For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Bring a pot of water to a boil and season with salt.
• Put the canola oil in a pan set over medium-high heat. Season the fennel with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the fennel and cook on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook the potato slices in the boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
• Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper into large heart shapes, then fold in half. Lift one side of each parchment heart, put some fennel in the center of the bottom half of each, then shingle the potatoes on top and follow with a piece of salmon. Top each salmon piece with a quarter of the white wine, butter, tarragon and shallots. Season with salt and pepper.
• Begin to close the parchment pieces by crimping the edges in small folds, continuing to fold over part of the previous fold, until the packets are completely closed. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, depending on your desired doneness.
• For the tapenade: While the salmon is in the oven, combine the olives, capers, anchovy and garlic in a bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice and honey and mix until combined. Finish with the minced parsley.
• Open the packets at the table and top each with a spoonful of the tapenade.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut two 15-by-24-inch pieces of parchment. Fold each in half crosswise like a book, then cut each into a heart shape. Open the hearts and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, stir to combine the olives, capers, shallot, bell pepper, leeks and garlic. Add the vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil; stir to coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper--the capers and olives add their own saltiness to the mixture.
• Season both sides of each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place 1 fillet near the fold of each parchment heart. Drizzle each fillet with 1 tablespoon each olive oil and sambuca. Place 1 bay leaf on each fillet then top evenly with the olive mixture.
• Fold the halves of each heart together, crimping along the edge from top to bottom. When you reach the pointed end, twist it to shut each packet.
• Bake the packets on the baking sheet until they are slightly puffed and the salmon is cooked, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, place on plates and carefully cut open the packets at the table.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Before you prep the veg mix together the soy, vinegar, ginger, garlic and some black pepper in a bowl. Add the salmon fillets, cover and leave to marinate for 10 mins at room temperature or up to 2 hrs in the fridge.
• Tear two large sheets of baking parchment, big enough to encase the fish and vegetables in and put onto a baking tray.
• Divide the vegetables between the centre of the paper and top each with a marinated salmon fillet and the sliced chilli. Bring the sides of the parchment up over the salmon and pour half of the remaining marinade over each fillet then scrunch the paper tightly together to seal the fish in a parcel.
• Roast for 20-25 mins, until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes into large pieces. Serve the fish in the parcel with some rice, if you like.
