How to Make Salmon En Papillote

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as dill, thyme, or parsley), and 1/4 cup dry white wine.
  3. Place two 6-ounce salmon fillets in a separate bowl and pour the marinade over them, ensuring both fillets are evenly coated.
  4. Marinate for 5 minutes.
  5. Cut four large (12x12 inch) sheets of parchment paper. Lay out two sheets on a baking tray.
  6. Place one salmon fillet in the center of each sheet of parchment paper.
  7. Spoon half of the marinade over each salmon fillet.
  8. Fold the parchment paper over the salmon to create a sealed packet (fold over the top and then fold in the sides to form a parcel), crimping the edges to prevent leakage.
  9. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  10. Carefully open the packets (steam will escape) and serve immediately.
