Why cook en papillote?
Salmon can be cooked with or without foil. Still, the first method is more popular. This is explained by the fact that the salmon en papillote is much more tender but still perfectly cooked.
At what temperature should salmon be cooked?
In general, salmon can be cooked at a temperature of 180ºC to 220ºC. For the preparation of a sauce with garnish or marinade, it is advisable to choose a lower temperature (so that the sauce does not burn). On the other hand, if you cook the salmon simply seasoned, you can increase the temperature to speed up the cooking process.
The salmon is cooked between 12 and 20 minutes depending on the temperature and the desired result
What is the benefit of salmon?
