SALMON EN PAPILLOTE

Steps:

• For the salmon: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Bring a pot of water to a boil and season with salt.
• Put the canola oil in a pan set over medium-high heat. Season the fennel with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the fennel and cook on one side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook the potato slices in the boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and set aside.
• Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper into large heart shapes, then fold in half. Lift one side of each parchment heart, put some fennel in the center of the bottom half of each, then shingle the potatoes on top and follow with a piece of salmon. Top each salmon piece with a quarter of the white wine, butter, tarragon and shallots. Season with salt and pepper.
• Begin to close the parchment pieces by crimping the edges in small folds, continuing to fold over part of the previous fold, until the packets are completely closed. Place the packets on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, depending on your desired doneness.
• For the tapenade: While the salmon is in the oven, combine the olives, capers, anchovy and garlic in a bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice and honey and mix until combined. Finish with the minced parsley.
• Open the packets at the table and top each with a spoonful of the tapenade.

• Add the white wine. Raise the heat to high and reduce until there is about a half cup left. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, bit by bit, whisking with each addition.
• Thoroughly butter a 24-inch piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil, then fold it in half. Make a pocket by closing 3 sides with small folds, like an envelope. Place on a jellyroll pan.

SALMON EN PAPILLOTE WITH ASPARAGUS, ICICLE RADISH AND MEYER LEMON HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the fish: Place 2 lemon slices in the center of a large square of parchment. Lay a piece of fish on top. Sprinkle with salt and top with 1 tablespoon butter and half the thyme. Fold the parchment paper over the fish and carefully twist and seal into a packet, being careful not to move the filling inside. Repeat with the remaining fillet of salmon, butter and thyme. Brush the outside of the parchment packets with the olive oil and place on a sheet pan.
• For the vegetables: Spread the asparagus and radishes on a second sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with the olive oil.
• Place the pan with the fish on the middle rack of the oven. Place the pan with the vegetables on the top rack. Bake until the fish is cooked to an internal temperature of 120 degrees F and the vegetables are cooked to crisp-tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the vegetables.
• For the hollandaise: Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and a splash of water in a blender. Blend on high for about 30 seconds to incorporate everything and froth up the yolks. Turn the blender to medium speed and slowly drizzle in the butter. This will emulsify the butter into the eggs and complete the hollandaise sauce. Add the mustard and blend just to combine.
• Gently remove the fish from the parchment envelopes and place on a rack fitted inside a sheet pan. Gently spoon an even layer of the hollandaise over the fish. Arrange the asparagus, radishes and salmon roe around the edges of 2 plates. Sprinkle with the chives. Place a piece of fish in the center of each plate in the middle of the vegetables. Garnish the plates with watercress before serving.
