Salmon in Parchment Paper with Horseradish-Yogurt Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 bunch kale, center ribs and stems removed, torn into 2” pieces, or 1 flat-leaf spinach, thick stems removed
- 8 oz. baby Yukon Gold potatoes (about 6), unpeeled, very thinly sliced
- 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
- 4 6-oz. skinless salmon fillets
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lemon, very thinly sliced, seeds removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°. Toast mustard seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat until golden and some begin to pop, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small plate and let cool.
- Lay 4 large rectangular pieces of parchment paper on a work surface. Place kale off-center on each sheet; top with potatoes, shallots, then salmon; season with salt and pepper. Top fish with lemon slices and mustard seeds; drizzle with oil.
- Fold parchment over fish and crimp edges tightly to form a sealed packet. Place packets on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake fish 20 minutes.
- Salmon packets can be assembled 6 hours ahead; chill.
- Whisk yogurt, dill, mustard, and horseradish in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Carefully open salmon packets and serve fish with horseradish-yogurt sauce.
- DO AHEAD: Yogurt sauce can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
