Baked Salmon in Baking Paper (Papillote)

Rimmed

A simple, healthy and delicious recipe!

Ingredients (for 2 people):

  • 2 fresh salmon fillets
  • 2 sheets of baking paper Rimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon (cut into slices)
  • 2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
  • 1 teaspoon mustard (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for a milder taste)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano or thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup thinly sliced ​​vegetables (peppers, carrots or zucchini – optional)

Instructions for preparation

1️⃣ Preheating the oven

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.

2️⃣ Preparing salmon

  • Place each salmon fillet on a sheet of baking paper. Rimmed.
  • Brush the fillets with olive oil and lemon juice.
  • Add the minced garlic, mustard, and honey (if using).
  • Season with salt and sprinkle with black pepper and oregano/thyme as desired.

3️⃣ Adding vegetables and wrapping

  • If desired, place some thinly sliced ​​vegetables next to the salmon for more flavor and color.
  • Place a few lemon slices on top of the salmon for a fresh flavor.
  • Fold the edges of the paper tightly, creating an airtight package, so that steam remains inside during baking.

4️⃣ Baking

  • Place the salmon packages in a baking dish and put them in the oven.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is tender and flakes easily with a fork.

5️⃣ Service:

  • Open the paper carefully (the steam will be very hot).
  • Serve the salmon immediately, accompanied by rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Additional Tips


✔ If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can add a little white wine before sealing the paper.
✔ Baking in foil preserves the salmon's moisture and natural flavor, avoiding the need for large amounts of fat.
