🐟 Salmon Papillote: Locked-in Flavor and Nutrients
Papillote involves wrapping food in parchment paper to steam it in its own juices. This technique is perfect for salmon, keeping it moist and preserving Omega-3s.
🌿 Why is it exceptionally healthy?
- Smart Fats: Salmon’s Omega-3 is vital for cardiovascular and brain health.
- No Added Fats: Almost no oil is required as the steam handles the cooking.
- Vitamin Retention: Without excess water or air contact, vegetable minerals are not lost.
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Preparation
- Veggie Base: Thinly julienne half a zucchini and one leek. Place on a large parchment paper square.
- Protein: Place a salmon fillet (150g) on top of the vegetables. Season lightly.
- Flavoring: Add a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh dill or thyme.
- Closing: Fold parchment paper to create an airtight pouch. It is vital that steam doesn’t escape.
- Baking: Place in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 12-15 minutes.
- Presentation: Open the pouch carefully (steam is hot) just before eating to enjoy the aroma.
