"Do you know that slightly awestruck feeling when you don't think you can ever cook something as well as what you get in a restaurant? That’s exactly the feeling I’ve had about salmon for years. If only I had known about this method sooner: cooking it in baking paper and seasoning with coarse Dijon mustard and cream cheese! Every time, without fail, I unpack perfectly cooked salmon, as tasty as in a restaurant, right on my plate. Paired with fresh lamb's lettuce, beetroot and pecans, this is one of the simplest recipes with a huge fine-dining feel."

Season the salmon filets all over with salt and pepper. Add cream cheese to the center of a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet, then add grainy mustard, then place the salmon filet on top. Add one slice of lemon and 1 sprig of thyme on top of each salmon. Fold into a parcel and twist both ends to seal. Transfer to the oven, bake for approx. 14–16 min., or until the salmon is no longer translucent. Add the pecans to the baking tray and bake for the last approx. 4 min. to roast together.
