Lemon Dijon Salmon With Fennel And Onions En Papillote
- 4 6-8 oz. Salmon Fillets, skin on (or 1 large multi-serving fillet instead)
- 1 Small to Medium Onion
- 2 Medium Lemons
- 1 Bulb of Fennel
- 4 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Mustard Seeds
- 4 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 4-6 Garlic Cloves (to taste)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black Pepper (to taste)
- Parchment Paper or foil (not to eat! but to wrap the fish)
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a sheet pan with the parchment/foil; the wrapper you choose should be 1.5-2x the length of the pan --lay it flat, with one edge hanging off legnthwise, and set aside.
- Peel onion and slice thinly (preferably with mandolin). Layer onions in the middle of parchment/foil and drizzle with 1 tbsp. olive oil.
- Cut off the fennel stalks and fronds; reserve for later. Slice the fennel bulb thinly (preferably with mandolin). Layer fennel slices on top of onions, in the parchment/foil.
- Peel and crush garlic cloves --scatter in between fennel and onions.
- Cut one lemon in half and set half aside. Slice the remaining 1.5 lemons thinly (preferably with a mandolin). Layer 2/3 of the lemon slices on top of the fennel and onions. Drizzle evenly with another tbsp. of olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Salt and pepper the salmon, and put on top of the veggie/lemon mix.
- Mix the dijon mustard, remaining oil, and lemon juice from 1/2 lemon with a fork. Drizzle the mixture over the salmon evenly.
- Top the salmon mix with remaining lemon slices, 4-5 fennel fronds, and the tbsp of mustard seeds
- Create a sealed pocket with the parchment foil, by folding the hanging edge on top of the salmon mix and folding or rolling sides into the middle.
- Place the sheet pan with the fish packet in the oven and bake 20-30 min, depending how you like the doneness of your salmon.rnWhen finished, unwrap, and voila --you should have tender moist fish with perfectly done veggies.
