  2. Place 2 big squares of parchment paper on a clean surface. We are making 2 papillote parcels so the ingredients will be divided between them. Add in the middle the spring onion and a quarter of the frozen peas.

  7. Now fold the parchment paper over the salmon. Fold the side (left or right, whatever you like best) over and over again.

  8. And like this work your way around the salmon, closing the parcel.

  9. Don’t wrap it too tightly. There still needs to be so air in the parcel so the fish can steam and breathe.

  10. Once the parcels are closed entirely, place them on a baking tray and then bake them in a preheated oven at 392°F (200°C) for about 12 to 15 minutes. How long exactly it needs to cook depends on how thick the salmon is. And if you prefer it cooked through or pink in the middle. I cook mine for 13 minutes.

  11. Remove the papillote from the oven and transfer them onto plates. Carefully snip the parcels open. Top with extra fresh cilantro. Serve the salmon immediately.
