I believe eating healthy is a choice and that’s why I’m keen on learning ways to cook cleaner and healthier.

Take this recipe for Salmon en Papillote. Now, don’t get turned away by the title, papillote translated loosely is “paper,” or in the case of this recipe: parchment paper. So what you will be making is fish wrapped in parchment paper.

Pretty simple, huh?

Why parchment paper? First of all, using this cooking method, you use little to no fat to cook the fish and vegetables—and yes, there are lots of vegetables in this dish.

Second of all, the steam does all of the hard work. Which means that all of that nutritional goodness in both the salmon and vegetables are not lost.

Third, clean up is a snap. There are no pots or pans to clean, just the dishes you eat off of. The parchment paper is recycled in the trash.

And, best of all, you can get the kids involved in making their own “fish packets.”

How to Make Salmon en Papillote

First, follow the directions from this simple video tutorial how to wrap fish in parchment paper.

Then, place your vegetables like, chopped leeks, julienne carrots, chopped celery in the center of the packet.

Once you do this, lay the salmon on top of the vegetables.

Next, drizzle a tablespoon or two of white wine or chicken broth over everything. Salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped dill.

Wrap carefully, being sure to fold tightly all of the ends of the packet.
