Citrus Dijon Salmon en Papillote
Serves 45 mins prep20 mins cook
This parchment-wrapped salmon—or salmon en papillote (don’t worry, I butchered the pronunciation too at first)—is the perfect compromise. It feels fancy, but it’s secretly foolproof. Everything steams to perfection inside its parchment paper cocoon: the salmon comes out moist and flaky, the green beans tender, and the citrus, garlic, and thyme infuse everything with flavor. The Dijon mustard gives it a subtle tangy kick that pairs so well with the orange and lemon.

Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 400°F. 2 Lay parchment sheets on a flat surface. In the center of each sheet, place a small handful of green beans and a few slices of shallot. 3 Season with salt and pepper. 4 Place a salmon fillet on top. Spread 1 tsp Dijon mustard over each fillet. 5 Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. 6 Top with lemon and orange slices. Add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of thyme. 7 Fold the parchment paper into a packet, crimping the edges to seal tightly. 8 Bake for 18–20 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork. 9 Carefully open packets and serve immediately—either plated or directly from the parchment.View original recipe
