Salmon in papillote is French for exactly what we're making- salmon in parchment, or a paper envelope. Cooking in papillote was a creation started in France in the 17th century and has been around since then in many forms, and for good reason. Putting your fish, seasonings and vegetables all together inside the parchment and baking steams all the deliciousness together, making every aspect of the meal as flavorful as it can be, all while keeping the salmon moist and tender.
This recipe uses green-beans and green onions as its veggie companion, but you can always swap them for what seasonal or what calls your name in the produce isle (cooking times may vary with other vegetables)! This recipe is also perfect for customizing to everyones tastes. Your significant other wants broccoli and you want green-beans? You want to add some spice and your friends can't handle the heat? Each parchment envelope can be altered so everyone is happy with their meal.
