Salmon en Papillote

French cuisine may sound intimidating, but this tender fish is deceptively easy and fast to prepare. Salmon is one of the most nutritious foods in the market, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins. Omega-3 fatty acids help build and maintain a healthy body, while B vitamins are a good energy source and may help with certain health problems, like migraines and anxiety. Baking this flavourful French dish will be a total breeze with your La Germania oven range.

Ingredients:
1.5 lbs salmon, cut into four pieces
One small zucchini, thinly sliced
One head fennel, thinly sliced
One lemon, thinly sliced
1 tsp dried dill
4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Parchment paper

Procedure:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Cut parchment into four large ovals 15” by 10” inches. Then, fold each parchment in half.
  3. On half of each parchment, layer on ¼ of the zucchini, ¼ the fennel, one piece of salmon, sprinkle with ¼ tsp salt, ¼ pepper, ¼ tsp dill, lemon slices, drizzle each salmon with one teaspoon olive oil and a few pieces of fennel fronds. Repeat this process with the three remaining salmon filets.
  4. Close the parchment by folding the other half over the prepared salmon and carefully roll the open edges toward the center.
  5. Set pouches on a baking sheet and bake on the center rack for 15 minutes.
  6. Open carefully using a fork and serve.

Snack it up with Baked Garlic Sweet Potatoes

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

If you’re in the mood for a delicious snack, you can forgo junk food and try this affordable yet delectable option instead. Sweet potato (a.k.a kamote) is a superfood packed with plenty of nutrients like Potassium, beta-carotene and Vitamin C. Potassium regulates one’s heartbeat. In contrast, beta-carotene is good for one’s eyesight. Meanwhile, Vitamin C is necessary for the growth, development, and repair of all body tissues. That’s why you should eat more sweet potatoes this flu season. With a La Germania compact oven in your arsenal, you can bake this mouthwatering dish to your heart’s content.

Ingredients:
Four medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch matchsticks
Two tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Five cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Two tablespoons chopped parsley leaves for garnish

Procedure:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  2. Place the sweet potatoes in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil and gently toss to combine; season with salt and pepper to taste. Place into oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and crisp, tossing occasionally.
  3. Combine sweet potato with garlic and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
