Photo: Salmon Fillet en Papillote with Julienne Vegetable Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup julienned fennel bulb
- 1/3 cup julienned leeks, white part only
- 1/3 cup julienned carrots
- 1/3 cup julienned snow peas
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon whole coriander seed, ground fine
- 1 (8-ounce) salmon fillet, pin bones removed
- 1 orange cut into wedges with white, pithy membrane removed
- 1 tablespoon dry vermouth
Directions
Take a 15 by 36-inch piece of parchment paper and fold in 1/2 like a book. Draw a large 1/2 heart on paper with fold of paper being the center of the heart. Cut out heart and open. Lay fennel, leeks, carrots, and snow peas on parchment in center to 1 side of fold. Mix together salt, pepper, and ground coriander. Sprinkle vegetables with 1/2 of salt, pepper, and coriander. Lay salmon on top of vegetables and season with remaining salt, pepper and coriander. Top with the orange wedges and sprinkle with vermouth. Fold other side of heart over fish and starting at top of heart shape, fold up both edges of parchment, overlapping folds as you move along. Once you reach the end tip, twist several times to secure tightly. Place on microwave safe plate and cook for 4 minutes, on high in microwave, or until fish reaches 131 degrees. Open parchment carefully and serve for a complete meal.

I bought some king salmon and had a basic idea to cook in en papillote with julliene veggies. I had spring onions, fennel, dill, carrots, and was looking for something to tie the idea together. I enjoy Alton's creativity, so I used the site to get an idea. I thought I had vermouth, but it turned out I didn't. So I used countreau. It complemented the oranges. But I think the vermouth would have been very nice. It was unseasonably cool today, so I used the oven at 425. 8 minutes. Yummy!

The dimensions of the parchment paper sold in our local grocery stores simply doesn't allow you to cut out a 15 x 36 inch piece. I just put it in a glass microwave safe dish in the same fashion, covered with plastic wrap with holes for venting and it came out perfect.
