Makrut Lime Salmon En Papillote for Fish Foodie Friday

By
Remember that we kicked off Fish Friday Foodies this year. It's a group of seafood-loving bloggers, coordinated by Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm. We share fish and seafood recipes on the third Friday of the month. This month, Karen of Karen's Kitchen Stories is hosting. Our theme for March: Seafood En Papillote.


En papillote is a method of cooking that involves making an envelope out of parchment paper and roasting the fish in the package. I love it! The steam produced in the packet keeps the fish moist, and it's a fun presentation to open the fish packet at the table.


Makrut Lime Salmon En Papillote 
for Fish Foodie Friday

Ingredients serves 4
  • 4 wild salmon filets
  • dried (or fresh) Makrut lime leave
  • freshly squeezed lime juice
  • olive oil
  • freshly ground pepper
  • bitters for serving (I had Makrut Lime-Bay Leaf bitters on-hand from one of my favorites: Bar Cart Cocktail Co.)
Also needed: 4 piece of parchment paper



Procedure
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lay one filet on a piece of parchment paper, approximately 12" square - or enough that you can completely envelop your filet and create a parchment packet.
Lay dried Makrut leaves on the filet. Drizzle the filet with lime juice and olive oil. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper.


Bring the sides of the parchment up around the filet and fold the edges together, rolling it down to the fish. Crimp the ends together, folding them in till fish is enclosed. Place the packets on a baking sheet.


Roast for 25 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and let steam for another five minutes. Serve the packets on a plate and let each diner open his or her own.


To serve, have diners drip the bitters on their own fish.


I served this on top of mashed golden potatoes and a green salad.

    How funny, I was just reading a post where someone made homemade bitters and thought I wouldn't know how to use them but here we are! I had to look up makrut lime to see if it was what I knew as kaffir lime and see it is, so at least I know what everything else is :) Looks great!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

By
If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
