I do believe that I’ve mentioned a time or two that the hubby loves salmon. I probably have more salmon recipes listed than almost any other type of protein. This is why I was very excited when ZayconFresh made salmon a part of their line up. The hubby and I bought a box when it became available in our area and I’ve cooked him a couple of meals. I’m planning a few other things and I’ll share them as I make them. One of my favorite ways to prepare his salmon is cooking en papillote; it never fails to present a delicious, well cooked piece of fish.
Salmon, Onions and Peppers en Papillote with Pomegranates
Serves 2
2 6 oz salmon filets
1/2 cup diced sweet onions
1 cup sliced green pepper
1 cup pomegranate seeds, divided
1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup vodka
salt and pepper
olive oil
parchment paper
2 cups of prepared Jasmine rice
Preheat oven to 350°
Spread a little olive oil on the sheets of parchment paper
Sprinkle the salmon filets with salt and pepper
Mix the orange juice and vodka. Add a healthy pinch of salt. set aside
Mix the onions and peppers together and divide in half.
Place one salmon filet on a piece of parchment, top with one of the halves of the vegetables.
Add 1/4 cup of pomegranate seeds
Fold up the packet until just about closed, add half of the vodka/orange juice mixture.
Repeat with the second salmon filet.
Place the parchment packets on a baking sheet and place the in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes.
Place 1 cup of hot rice on a plate.
CAREFULLY open the fish packet and move the fish and vegetables on top of the rice. Pour the juices over top.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of pomegranate seeds over top.
Repeat with the second piece of fish.
It also looks very festive, doesn’t it? Not that it’s a holiday only dish! The hubby really enjoyed it. He liked the combination of the sweet onions and peppers with the tart pomegranates on the rich fish. He loves when I cook his salmon this way because he says it’s always moist and delicious.
ZayconFresh has so many different options for your freezer. I’ve been so happy with everything I’ve gotten from them. I think the bacon wrapped pork is next! Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed. If you do, please use my referral link: https://zayconfresh.com/refer/zf237258 I appreciate it!
