How to Make Cilantro Butter Salmon And Vegetables In Parchment

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut two 12-inch squares of parchment paper.
  3. Place 1 tablespoon of butter on one half of each parchment square.
  4. Arrange 1/2 cup sliced leeks and 1/2 cup julienned carrots on top of the butter.
  5. Spread 1 tablespoon of cilantro chutney or puree evenly over one 6-ounce salmon fillet.
  6. Place the salmon fillet on top of the vegetables.
  7. Top the salmon with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
  8. Season with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt.
  9. Fold the other half of the parchment paper over the salmon and vegetables, creating a half-moon shape.
  10. Crimp and fold the edges tightly to create a sealed packet. (Tip: Double fold the edges to prevent leaks).
  11. Place the packets on a baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
  13. Remove from oven and let rest for 3-5 minutes.
  14. To serve, carefully place the packet on a plate and cut a small 'X' on top of the parchment.
  15. Gently peel back the parchment paper and enjoy!
