Fish Baked in Foil With Leeks and Carrots image

This is a recipe from Cooks Illustrated (I highly recommend the magazine). We used red snapper but the recipe calls for cod, haddock, halibut or sea bass as other options as long as the fillets are 1 to 1 1/4 inches thick.

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 teaspoons fresh lemon zest, lemon cut into wedges
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave, minced
table salt
ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, minced
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 medium leeks, white and light green parts halved lengthwise, washed, and cut into matchsticks (about 2 cups)
4 tablespoons vermouth or 4 tablespoons dry white wine
4 cod fish fillets, 1 to 1 1/4 inches thick (about 6 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Combine butter, 1/4 t zest, 1 t garlic, thyme, 1/4 t salt, and 1/8 t pepper in small bowl. Combine parsley, remaining t zest, and remaining t garlic in another small bowl; set aside. Place carrots and leeks in medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss together.
  • Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 450°Fs. Cut eight 12 inch sheets of foil; arrange four flat on counter. Divide carrot and leek mixture among foil sheets, mounding in center of each. Pour 1 T vermouth over each mound of vegetables. Pat fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper and place one fillet on top of each vegetable mound. Spread quarter of butter mixture on top of each fillet. Place second square of foil on top of fish; crimp edges together in 1/2 inch fold, the fold over three more times to create a packet about 7 inches square. Place packets on rimmed baking sheet (overlapping slightly if necessary).
  • Bake packets 15 minutes. Carefully open foil, allowing steam to escape away from you. Using thin metal spatula, gently slide fish and vegetables onto plate with any accumulated juices; sprinkle with parsley mixture. Served immediately, passing lemon wedges separately.

FISH IN FOIL



Fish in Foil image

The 'no smell' fish recipe that is the ONLY one I make for my family (I hate fish, they LOVE it!). Take foil packets to table for service, and keep them around for the discarding of bones and skin. Then when dinner's done, haul those babies to the outside trash.

FOIL-BAKED SWORDFISH WITH CARROTS, LEEKS, AND GINGER BUTTER



Foil-Baked Swordfish with Carrots, Leeks, and Ginger Butter image

Categories     Fish     Ginger     Onion     Vegetable     Bake     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large carrots, cut into julienne strips (about 1 1/2 cups)
the white and pale green part of 2 small leeks, chopped fine, washed well, and drained (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh gingerroot
two 6-ounces swordfish steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)

Steps:

  • In a heavy skillet cook the carrots and the leeks with salt and pepper to taste in 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderate heat, stirring, for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are crisp-tender, and keep the mixture warm. In a small bowl stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the zest, the gingerroot, and salt and pepper to taste. Fold 2 pieces of 20- by 12-inch foil in half by bringing the short ends together, unfold each piece, and arrange a swordfish steak, seasoned with salt and pepper, just to one side of each fold line. Top the swordfish with the vegetable mixture and dot it with the butter mixture. Fold the foil over the swordfish steaks with the vegetable mixture to enclose them, fold the edges of the foil together to form tightly sealed packets, and bake the packets on a baking sheet in a preheated 450°F. oven for 10 minutes. Open the packets carefully, transfer the swordfish steaks with vegetables mixture to plates, and pour the juices over them, discarding the foil.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish, so be sure to use the best you can find.
  • Season your fish well: Don't be afraid to season your fish generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to bring out its natural flavor.
  • Cook the fish until it is just cooked through: Overcooked fish is dry and tough, so be careful not to overcook it. The best way to tell if the fish is done is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it is done.
  • Let the fish rest before serving: After you cook the fish, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Fish baked in foil with leeks and carrots is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and impressive meal that your family and friends will love.
