I just finished cooking and eating Salmon en papillote. What an amazing dish! It's sooo food of the gods level good, yet so simple to make. I think it's just become my favorite dish.
What is en papillote? en papillote is the fine French technique of combining a fillet, a sprinkling of some liquid (usually wine), herb butter and sometimes vegetables in a parchment paper/alumninum foil envelope which is sealed and then baked.
In my case, I used salmon, julienne green onions, sweet rice vinegar and taragon butter. Not exactly an orthodox combo, but wonderful nonetheless.
I highly recommend trying it out.

Hey, I think I saw this technique used on Iron Chef on more than one occasion. Sounds delish. Send some leftovers to us out here in the northwest, and we'll love you forever!
