Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 large leek (or 3 small)
  • 1 pound salmon fillet
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Make a pocket using aluminum foil or parchment paper and place this on a baking sheet
  • 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.
  • Clean your salmon fillet (I removed the skin so that more leek flavour could be adsorbed).
  • 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.
  • Seal up the pouch and bake at 450ºF for 10 minutes per inch thickness of the salmon, don’t dry it out!
