Salmon en papillote

En Papillote is a french way of cooking. It means in Paper. I just finished making this for our dinner and it is wonderful
1lb Salmon filet atleast an inch thick
salt/pepper to taste or whatever you normally season your fish with
Drizzel of olive oil
Parchment paper 2 1/2 times the size of your fish

Place your fish on one side of the paper leaving about an inch for an edge
Season and drizzel on the oil
Fold paper over fish and starting at the fold on one side fold over the edge keep goin until you have gone all around the fish. If you have ever made a calzone this is the same thing you do with the dough. make sure it is sealed. if not fold over and put a couple of staples in it...just dont eat them lol
Place on a cookie sheet or in a pan in a 350 degree oven for 20 min
Take it out and let it rest for a few minutes before opening your package.
Fish continues to cook after removing from oven.
If you are having guests you can do this with smaller portions so each guest with have their own package.
You can also place lemon slices or fennel in the pouch before cooking.
Enjoy!
