Inspiration for this Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe was inspired by a similar one provided by the legendary Food & Wine<\/a> magazine. We made a few tweaks to their recipe along the way, as we found their version ended up having quite a bitter flavor. One thing you need to watch when using whole Lemon slices, which is what this recipe asks for

How to make Baked Salmon with Lemon and Leeks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a very simple dish to make, and all it requires is one large oven-safe pot. We used a deep sided Stainless-Steel Pot which worked wonders, but you can also use a Cast Iron Pan (which are always a good choice for most cooking needs)

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most difficult part of this dish, in fact, has nothing to do with the food itself, but moreover preparing the parchment paper that covers the dish as it goes into the Oven. The paper needs to be folded into a circle with a hole in the middle to allow Steam to escape from the pan as it roasts in the oven

This simple recipe shows you how to make the most delicious Baked Salmon with Lemon and Leeks all in one pot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This technique is known as a \u2018Cartouche\u2019 and it\u2019s a very simple process of folding and cutting parchment paper. It\u2019s so much easier to watch a simple video on how to do it than explain in writing, so here\u2019s a simple video<\/a> to learn how to make one

Next step is to prepare the ingredients for the dish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The star of the show is the Salmon. You can use 3 or 4 pieces of Salmon for this dish. Really just how many pieces will comfortably fit into your pot. We ended up using 3 large Salmon Filets, which took about 7 \u2013 8 minutes to roast in the Oven

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are using smaller sized pieces of Salmon you can add 4 pieces to the pan, and they\u2019ll take 5 \u2013 6 minutes to Roast. You want to ensure the Salmon doesn\u2019t have its skin on. Either purchase skinless Salmon or remove the Skin. If you need to remove the Salmon Skin, here\u2019s a simple video on how to do it
