Salmon with zucchini baked in parchment is the essence of French cuisine, where simplicity meets sophistication. This cooking method, known as 'en papillote', allows the fish to retain its tenderness and rich flavor enhanced by the aromas of lemon, dill, and butter. Light, airy, almost weightless, it reveals the subtle facets of gastronomic pleasure. Zucchini adds freshness to the dish while shallots provide a pleasant spiciness. This recipe is perfect for those who appreciate healthy yet exquisite food. It should be served right in the opened parchment to enjoy the moment when the aroma unfolds in all its fullness.
