Salmon & clementine en papillote, with balsamic glazed beetroot and apple salad

Delight in the harmonious flavors of salmon, clementine, balsamic glazed beetroot, and apple in this delectable en papillote salad.

Ingredients:

  • a splashes Olive oil
  • 1 Clementine
  • a few sprigs Dill
  • 0.5 shots Vermouth
  • 150 grams cooked Beetroot
  • 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Honey
  • 0.5 Granny Smith Apple
  • a handfuls Watercress

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Place a large piece of aluminum foil on the countertop and lightly oil the center.
  2. Wash the Clementine and slice it into thick pieces. Arrange them in a row at the center of the foil and place the salmon fillet on top. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add a few sprigs of dill on top and begin folding the foil by raising all edges to form a small bowl that can hold liquids. Pour in the vermouth.
  4. Seal the papillote tightly by bringing together the two longer sides of the foil and folding them over at least twice. This will create a sealed rectangle. Then fold the ends over themselves to create a secure package that traps the steam inside.
  5. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the salad by chopping the beets into small pieces. Cook them in a hot pan over medium-high heat with balsamic vinegar until the liquid is reduced by two-thirds. Stir in the honey, season with salt and pepper, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the beets are coated in a glaze. Remove from heat and add more honey if desired.
  7. By this time, the salmon should be cooked. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes, still wrapped in the foil. The trapped steam will continue cooking the salmon.
  8. Complete the salad by dicing the apple. Arrange the watercress on a plate with the apples and glazed beets. Adjust the seasoning and drizzle with a little oil.
  9. Gently unfold the papillote (be cautious of the hot steam), remove the dill, and carefully transfer the salmon to a plate. Remember to pour the flavorful cooking juices from the foil over the salmon.
