Have you ever cooked salmon en papillote?
This classic French technique simply means cooking in parchment paper. As the salmon bakes, the parchment traps the steam, gently cooking the fish while fresh vegetables, lemon, rosemary, and homemade BBQ butter create an incredible buttery sauce right inside the packet.
The day after making my Homemade BBQ Butter, I knew I had to try it with salmon—and it turned out even better than I imagined.
This recipe combines fresh salmon, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, shallots, lemon, and homemade BBQ butter for an elegant dinner that’s surprisingly simple to make. Once you learn the technique, you’ll discover just how versatile en papillote can be with different vegetables, herbs, and proteins.

This looks mouthwatering! What kind of salmon do you purchase? I never seem to prepare my salmon correctly where I want to cook it again, but I might give it another try after your video!
