Instructions
- 1
If using oven, pre-heat the oven to 200C/392F.
- 2
Lightly oil the centre of each piece of foil, drawing an elongated oval so that the salmon fillet can fit in the oiled area.
- 3
Spread the sliced onions on the oiled area of each piece of foil so that the salmon can nicely sit on them.
- 4
Place the salmon on the scattered onion, top with sliced carrots, enoki mushrooms, snow peas and shiitake mushrooms. Try to spread vegetables on the salmon fillets in clusters but to cover the salmon (see the photos).
- 5
Place 3g butter on top of the vegetables in the centre of each fillet.
- 6
Pick up the end of the foil on your side and the opposite side and fold the both sides together a few times to seal. Then fold left and right sides a few times individually to seal the bag.

If cooking in the oven, place the foil bags on a tray and cook for 13-15 minutes.
- 8
If cooking on a stove top, place the bags in a frying pan, without overlapping, with a lid on. Cook over medium heat for 4 minutes, then turn down the heat to low and cook further 7-8 minutes.

Place each bag on a plate and serve with ponzu dressing. To eat, open the bag and pour ponzu dressing over the fish and vegetables.
