How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Cut the carrot, zucchini, and red pepper into thin, uniform strips for even cooking.
- Place each salmon fillet on a piece of baking paper, seasoning with salt, pepper, and fresh dill for an aromatic lift.
- Evenly distribute the vegetables over and around the salmon, adding lemon juice and slices for a fresh, tangy accent.
- Seal the baking paper into an airtight package, ensuring steam and flavors are trapped inside.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Carefully open the papillote to avoid steam burns, and serve the salmon and vegetables directly in the papillote for an attractive presentation, or with a light side like brown rice or a fresh salad.
