King salmon parcels with potatoes, peas and baby carrots

If you don’t own a steamer, try using the French cooking technique ‘en papillote’ (‘in parchment’), a method of wrapping food in baking paper parcels to bake in the oven. This method creates a gentle cooking method ideal for delicate fish fillets, with far less clean-up than using a steamer!

Ingredients

  • 500 g quartered baby potatoes, blanched
  • 1 bunch baby carrots, halved, blanched
  • 200 g peas
  • 50 g butter, diced
  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 4 tbsp crème fraîche (or sour cream)
  • 4 x 180 g King salmon fillets (skin-on)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C. Cut four large squares (30 cm x 50 cm) of aluminium foil. In the centre of each foil square, place a 15 cm x 15 cm square of baking paper.
  2. Divide the vegetables between each baking paper square and top with a little butter, parsley, lemon zest and crème fraîche, finishing with a salmon fillet for each parcel. Drizzle lightly with lemon oil.
  3. Fold the baking paper into a parcel, then wrap the foil around it.
  4. Place the parcels onto a baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked. Serve the parcels opened onto plates with lemon wedges on the side.
