Salmon and Pesto Potatoes en Papillote
Just add a simple green salad for a quick and easy dinner.
Makes 6 servings
Preparation: 10–15 minutes, plus 18 minutes baking time
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut 6 pieces of aluminum foil, each 16 inches long.
Brush a 6 x 4-inch area in the center of each rectangle with olive oil. Set aside.
Insert the slicing disc. Slice the potatoes, one at a time. Remove each potato; restack and
reserve separately.
Season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Fan out the slices of one potato on the oiled portion
of a sheet of foil. Spread one teaspoon of the pesto on the fanned slices. Top with a salmon fillet.
Bring the two cut sides of the foil together over the center of the salmon; fold over 1 inch, then fold
over 2 more times. Fold the ends in twice, in ½-inch folds, to complete the seal. Repeat until all the
salmon and potatoes have been prepared and wrapped. Bake in the preheated oven for 22 minutes.
While the salmon is in the oven, stack the basil leaves and roll. Slice in
