This is a classic French way of cooking a fillet of fish, in this case, a fillet of salmon. Wrapping up the fillet in parchment paper, this method gently bakes the fish in its own moisture and steam from the natural juices that comes out. It also makes for great display at the table, when you cut it open to reveal the beautifully cooked fish and release a burst of aroma.

1 small onion, sliced

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Prepare a circular sheet of baking paper, approximately the size of a standard cookie sheet, and fold it in half. Spread the butter on one side of the baking paper.
2. Place the salmon in the center of the sheet, near the fold. Season with black pepper, salt, and parsley, and then drizzle the olive oil and white wine over it. Scatter the diced tomatoes and sliced onions over and beside the fillet.
3. Fold over the other half and start folding in the edges, crimping them and folding over each pleat. Use something hard to flatten the pleats and you may want to use pins to secure it as well. Make sure there is some air inside the packet as well.
4. Place the packet in the oven and bake for about 8-10 mins. To serve, just transfer the packet to a plate and cut it open at the top.
