Salmon En Papillote is a French dish that translates to 'salmon in parchment'. This technique involves baking fish inside a sealed packet made from baking paper. The cooking process allows the fish to steam inside the parcel and retain its natural juices and flavors. This recipe uses simple ingredients like onion, garlic, tomato, and fresh herbs to create a delicious and healthy fish dish that can be enjoyed as a main course. The salmon is seasoned with salt and black pepper and then topped with the onion and tomato mixture, which is flavored with thyme and dill for added depth of flavor. The result is a light and fragrant meal that is perfect for any occasion.
