Method

1
Preheat oven to 200 C / 180 C fan.
2
Cut a couple of large piece of parchment paper and scrunch up to make it easier to work with.
3
Place the leeks, fennel, shallots and garlic into the centre of the paper and add the fish, skin side down, on top of the vegetables.
4
Bring up the sides slightly and pour the white wine into the parcel then tie up with string to create an air tight parcel - this will ensure your fish and veg steam cook.
5
Place the parchment parcel on to a tray and cook for 15 minutes.
6
Once cooked, remove the salmon, peel away the skin and set aside.
7
Pour the liquid from the parcel into a small saucepan, add the fish stock and cream and bring to the boil, reducing by about half.
8
Whisk in the cold butter and season with salt then stir in the cornflour slurry and heat gently until slightly thickened.
9
Add the herbs and lemon zest and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
10
To serve, divide the veg between 2 plates and top with a salmon fillet. Pour the sauce over the top and grate over a little more lemon zest to finish.
