Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the skin of the salmon. Peel the clementines (Remove seeds if not seedless).
- Place 4 sheets of parchment paper of equal size on top of each other.
- In the middle of the top sheet, place one salmon fillet wrapped in bacon. Place the slices of one clementine around it. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Squeeze a little bit of lemon juice on top, and add 1 branch of fresh dill. Drizzle with olive oil. Repeat with all other salmon fillets. Each salmon fillet should be placed on top of 4 sheets of parchment paper in the middle of the top sheet, because they will each be wrapped individually.
- Now wrap each salmon fillet with the sheets of parchment paper it sits on, as if you were making a tightly wrapped present (see picture). These are your papillotes. You should have 4 of them.
- Bake the papillotes in the oven for 30 minutes.The papillotes should be opened at the table when you are ready to eat. Enjoy!
