Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 large lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Cook them in boiling salted water for 10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Thinly slice the zucchini and carrot into rounds.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Prepare four large sheets of aluminum foil (about 12x12 inches each).
Place an equal portion of the semi-cooked baby potatoes in the center of each foil sheet.
Top the potatoes with the zucchini and carrot slices, dividing them equally among the parcels.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over the vegetables in each parcel.
Place a salmon fillet over each vegetable pile, then season each fillet with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Zest the lemon and scatter the zest over the salmon. Cut the lemon into thin slices and place a slice on top of each fillet.
Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of fresh dill and a small amount of chopped garlic over each parcel.
Add a small pat of butter (about 1/2 tablespoon) on top of each fillet.
Fold the foil sheets over the ingredients to create sealed parcels, ensuring no gaps remain to retain steam.
Place the foil parcels onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Carefully remove the parcels from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes before opening.
Serve the parcels directly on plates for a stunning presentation, allowing each guest to unwrap their own.
