Ingredients

  • 4 Salmon fillet
  • 5 Tablespoon mixed fresh herbs *See Notes
  • 2 shallot
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch Black Pepper Ground
  • 6 Tablespoon butter
To wrap in the fish fillet
  • 1 parchment paper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the parchment paper sheet into 4 equal parts and place each salmon fillet into one sheet in a casserole dish.
  2. Chop the shallots and herbs.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit/ 180° Celsius.
  4. Combine the chopped shallot, herbs, salt and black pepper with the butter to create a compound butter.
  5. Distribute the herb compound butter equally over the salmon fillet.
  6. Now close the paper by twisting the ends so that the salmon is enclosed, each fillet in a parchment pouch.
  7. Bake your salmon in parchment paper for about 20 minutes at 350° Fahrenheit/ 180° Celsius. The fish should be cooked through, flakey, moist but not dry when finished.
  8. Serve hot with a side dish of your choice (see serving suggestions in post)

Notes

  • Use a mixture of fresh herbs. In my video and pictures I used 1 Tablespoon Parsley, 2 Tablespoon Chives, 2 Teaspoon Savory, 2 Teaspoon Marjoram, 2 Teaspoon Dill weed freshly chopped fine. 
  • You can make a large batch of herb compound butter too if you like and use with the fish as you like.
