Salmon en Papillote Tips

How is cooking salmon en papillote different than baking?

Cooking salmon en papillote means wrapping it in parchment paper or foil (en papillote means "in paper"), and allowing it to cook via steam that builds up in the packet. It's a more gentle method than baking, best used on delicate foods.

What kind of salmon should you use to make salmon en papillote?

Which cut to use when you cook salmon depends on the recipe. For this, we recommend fillets for their size and convenience. For serving, you'll want to remove the skin from the fillet as cooking en papillote will make it soggy.

What's the best way to wrap salmon in parchment paper?

Once you've cut the parchment paper into squares, fold it in half and pile the recipe ingredients on one side. Fold the other side over the ingredients, and then, starting at the top, fold the edges down to create an overlapping crimped pattern. When you get to the bottom, twist the final fold under to secure the packet. Use this method to create other types of tasty dishes cooked in foil packets, too.
