Salmon papillote with leek and estragon cream sauce

Salmon papillote with leek and estragon cream sauce

I wanted to eat something healthy. What is better than a salmon papillote with leek fondue? Okay, there is still too much cream in this recipe. However if you feel like it you can also replace the cream by some soya cream. The recipe will then become lighter and healthier but less French of course :).

You can serve this salmon with the leek fondue only. However if you are terribly hungry, you can also make some rice or boiled potatoes as side dish. Mixing the rice together with the sauce of the papillotes is delicious. The sweetness of the leek fondue tastes wonderful associated with salmon. I also really like the contrast of the colors: pink, green and white.

I always use aluminium foil to make my papillotes, then I place them in an oven dish in order to bake them. Never bought a proper papillote dish… yet!
