Salmon Spinach And Potatoes Baked In Parchment Recipes

SALMON AND SPINACH IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide spinach among four 16-inch-long pieces of parchment paper. Top with orange zest and slices, salmon, ginger, and shallot; season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil.
• Bring long ends of paper together and fold down 3 times to make a seam. Tuck ends underneath to secure.
• Place packets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until packets are puffed and salmon is cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer packets to plates, pull open, and serve immediately.

SALMON, SPINACH, AND POTATOES BAKED IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a rimmed baking sheet in oven to heat. Cut parchment to size.
• Stir together butter, capers, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl; set aside.
• Divide potato slices between parchment rectangles, layering them in stacks to form a bed (slightly larger than the salmon fillet) to one side of crease. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top each bed of potatoes with one quarter of the shallots followed by half the spinach. Place salmon fillets on top of spinach. Divide remaining shallots evenly between packets. Top each salmon fillet with 2 lemon slices (reserve remaining slices for garnish). Dot with caper butter; season with salt and pepper.
• Fold parchment paper over ingredients, at the crease. Starting with one end of the paper and keeping edges together, make small overlapping pleats the length of the paper, creasing tightly as you go and shaping the edge into an arc. The packet should resemble a half-moon.
• Carefully transfer packets to preheated baking sheet. Bake until packets have puffed, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer packets to plates. Serve immediately, opening packets at the table. Garnish with remaining lemon slices.

CHEF JOHN'S SALMON IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Take two pieces of parchment paper, fold in half, and cut a half-circle starting at each crease. They should look similar to a heart-shape when unfolded. Coat each piece of parchment with olive oil on both sides.
• Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus, and cook uncovered until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the asparagus is cold, drain well, and set aside.
• Place 1 salmon fillet, half the asparagus, and half the potatoes in the middle of one side of a prepared parchment paper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Fold other half of circle over and seal parchment edge by making overlapping folds around the edge. At the end, fold the last crease in the opposite direction of the rest to ensure it seals. Repeat with the second piece of prepared parchment and remaining ingredients. Place pouches on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting open parchment. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

POTATO-SALMON BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Stir together the panko, dill, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of the melted butter in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Butter the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Layer half the potatoes, overlapping, to cover the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with half of the feta and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Repeat, topping with the remaining potatoes, feta and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Combine the broth and 1 tablespoon of the melted butter in a small bowl and pour over the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake until the potatoes are just softened, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the salmon into 2- to 3-inch pieces. Toss the salmon with the lemon juice and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and uncover. Increase the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the salmon on the potatoes and sprinkle with the panko mixture. Bake, uncovered, until the salmon is cooked through and the panko is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Garnish with dill sprigs.

SALMON EN PAPILLOTE (SALMON IN PARCHMENT)

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut 4 large heart-shaped pieces of parchment paper or foil, and place them on a sheet pan. Fold the parchment or foil in half down the middle, place a fillet with its garnishes and seasonings on one side of each, fold the other side over and crimp the rounded edge tightly closed.
• Place in oven for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how done you'd like to serve the salmon. The packages should puff up and make for dramatic serving.

PARCHMENT BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the lowest position in oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place salmon fillet with skin side down in the middle of a large piece of parchment paper; season with salt and black pepper. Cut 2 3-inch slits into the fish with a sharp knife. Stuff chopped basil leaves into the slits. Spray fillet with cooking spray and arrange lemon slices on top.
• Fold edges of parchment paper over the fish several times to seal into an airtight packet. Place sealed packet onto a baking sheet.
• Bake fish on the bottom rack of oven until salmon flakes easily and meat is pink and opaque with an interior of slightly darker pink color, about 25 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fillet should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). To serve, cut the parchment paper open and remove lemon slices before plating fish.

SALMON, SPINACH, AND POTATOES BAKED IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to heat. Cut 2 pieces of parchment paper, each measuring 12 × 17 inches.
• Stir together the butter, capers, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl; set aside.
• Divide the potato slices between the parchment rectangles, layering them in stacks to form a bed (slightly larger than the salmon fillet) to one side of crease. Season with salt and pepper.
• Top each bed of potatoes with one-quarter of the shallots, followed by half the spinach. Place the salmon fillets on top of the spinach. Divide the remaining shallots evenly between the packets. Top each salmon fillet with 2 lemon slices (reserve the remaining slices for garnish). Dot with caper butter; season with salt and pepper.
• Fold the parchment paper over ingredients at the crease. Starting with one end of the paper and keeping the edges together, make small overlapping pleats the length of the paper, creasing tightly as you go and shaping the edge into an arc. The packet should resemble a half-moon.
• Carefully transfer the packets to the preheated baking sheet. Bake until the packets have puffed, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer the packets to plates. Serve immediately, opening the packets at the table. Garnish with the remaining lemon slices.

SALMON AND LEEKS BAKED IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fold a 24-inch sheet of parchment paper in half, and cut out a heart shape about 3 inches larger than fish fillet. Place fillet near the fold, and place a handful of leeks next to it. Drizzle fish with wine and olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chervil.
• Brush edges of parchment paper with melted butter, fold paper to enclose fish, and make small overlapping folds to seal the edges, starting at curve of heart. Be sure each fold overlaps the one before it so that there are no gaps. Brush the outside of the package with melted butter. Repeat with rest of fillets.
• Put packages on a baking sheet, and bake until paper is puffed and brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
