Salmon With Leeks

5 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 large leek (or 3 small)
  • 1 pound salmon fillet
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Make a pocket using aluminum foil or parchment paper and place this on a baking sheet
  2. 2
    Slice one large leek in half lengthwise and rinse out any sand between the layers. Slice the leek crosswise into very thin half moons. Mince the garlic.
  3. 3
    Clean your salmon fillet (I removed the skin so that more leek flavour could be adsorbed).
  4. 4
    Put half the leek and half the butter (1 Tbsp) and salt & pepper in the pouch first. Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides and lay it on the leeks. Top with garlic, butter (1 Tbsp) and remaining leeks.
  5. 5
    Seal up the pouch and bake at 450°F for 10 minutes per inch thickness of the salmon, don't dry it out!
