This salmon and vegetables baked in foil recipe is adapted from the traditional recipe, salmon en papillote, a delicious and simple recipe ready in 30 minutes.
Have you ever heard the term “en papillote”? Although it sounds fancy, en papillote means to bake food in a folded packet of parchment paper… or in my case, aluminum foil. When using this method of cooking, the vegetables that serve as the accompaniment are cooked at the same time with the chosen protein.
