FISH FILLETS IN PARCHMENT WITH ASPARAGUS & ORANGE



Fish Fillets in Parchment With Asparagus & Orange image

This is a light and healthy recipe from Molly Stevens, printed in "Bon Appétit Magazine" (April 2008). In this delicately flavored main course, the asparagus steams along with the fish in individual paper packets. Feel free to tweak it to your preferences (substituting dill for tarragon, adding some garlic, etc). I like to add orange zest for more flavour. Recipe uses 4 15x15-inch squares parchment paper.

Time 47m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 red onion, julienned
1 zucchini, julienned
1 large carrot, julienned
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (4-ounce) sole fillets, hake, flounder or other white fish
1 lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
8 sprigs fresh thyme
4 pats butter
1/4 cup white wine

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together the onion, zucchini, carrot and garlic. Adds the oil, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine. Put each fish fillet in a large square of parchment paper and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the vegetables on top, dividing evenly. Top the vegetables with 2 lemon slices, 2 sprigs thyme, a pat of butter and 1 tablespoon white wine, layering in order. Fold the parchment paper around the edges tightly in 1/4-inch folds to create a half moon shape. Make sure you press as you crimp and fold to seal the packets well, otherwise the steam will escape. Arrange the packets on a baking sheet. Bake until the fish is cooked through, about 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. To serve, cut open the packets and serve directly in the parchment on a plate or remove the fish to the plate using a spatula, being sure you don't leave the juices behind.

FISH EN PAPILLOTE



Fish En Papillote image

A recipe for simple, perfect fish en papillote with vegetables. This healthy method for baking fish in parchment results in tender, flaky fish every time!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 6-ounce cod fillets (or another firm-bodied fish, such as salmon,flounder, trout, or halibut)
1/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil
2 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (plus additional for serving)
1 small or 1/2 large shallot
½ teaspoon kosher salt (plus additional for seasoning)
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small lemon
4 cups lightly packed tender salad greens (like spinach, arugula, radicchio, or even mixed greens)
12 cherry tomatoes (halved)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, add the Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil, garlic, parsley, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Zest the lemon right into the bowl (reserve the whole lemon). With a fork, mash the butter with canola oil to smoothly combine all of the ingredients. Cut the whole lemon into thin slices (you will need 8 slices total for the recipe).
  • Assemble the Packets: Tear off 4 squares of parchment that are at least 12 inches on each side. Lay the sheet flat on a work surface. Place 1 cup of salad greens in the center of a sheet, leaving space at the top and bottom. On top of the greens, place 1 fish fillet so that it runs vertically top to bottom. Lightly sprinkle the fish with salt. With the back of a small spoon, spread one-quarter of the butter mixture on top of the fish. Lay 2 slices of lemon on top of the butter mixture and scatter 6 tomato halves around the fish.
  • Fold the Parchment Packets: Lift the right and left sides of the paper up and towards the center, directly above the fish. Touch the two sides together and tightly roll them, folding as you go, until you reach the fish. Now, roll and crimp the top and bottom ends, rolling them towards the counter, away from the center of the fish. When you reach the end, tuck the end underneath the fish. Place the packet on a rimmed baking sheet, using the weight of the fish to hold the ends in place (you don't want the packet to come unsealed as it bakes). Repeat with remaining three packets. Reserve any remaining lemon slices for serving.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Serve warm with reserved lemon slices and additional fresh parsley as desired.

FILLET OF FISH IN PARCHMENT



Fillet of Fish in Parchment image

Provided by Judith Jones

Categories     Salad     Sauce     Fish     Bake     Roast     Steam     Dinner     Summer

Number Of Ingredients 10

Olive oil
2 or 3 smallish new potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch slices
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6-ounce fillet of flounder, halibut, tilapia, salmon, or red snapper, or more if you want leftovers
About 1/3 medium zucchini, cut into julienne strips
1/2 medium carrot, peeled and cut into very thin julienne strips
1 scallion, white and tender green, cut into lengthwise strips
3 slices fresh ginger approximately the size of 25-cent pieces, peeled and cut into julienne strips
A splash of white wine
A sprinkling of fresh herbs, if available (such as parsley, chives, tarragon, or summer savory)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°.
  • Oil lightly the center of your Silpat mat set on a baking sheet, or, if you don't have the mat, oil a piece of foil. Scatter the potato slices over the oiled area, then turn them. Salt and pepper lightly. Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, turning once.
  • Meanwhile, cut off an 18-inch piece of parchment paper, and fold it in half. Open it up, and on one half place the fish alongside the folded edge, after salting and peppering it on both sides (see illustrations on preceding page and opposite). Pile the zucchini, carrot, scallion, and ginger on top of the fish, salt again lightly, and splash on enough wine to bathe the fillet(s) lightly. After the potato slices have had their 10-minute pre-roasting, arrange them on top or around the edge of the fish and sprinkle the herbs over all. Fold the other half of the parchment over, then fold in the open edge twice, and pleat it all around to make a semicircular airtight package. If it tends to open up where the folded edges meet, secure that place with a binder clip or a large paper clip. Place on the sheet pan, and bake for 12 minutes. If you have a fairly thick fillet, you may need to bake it 1 or 2 minutes more. Test with a skewer; if it goes in easily, the fish is done. Plunk the whole parchment package on a big dinner plate, and enjoy.
  • Second Round
  • You can make a delicious salad with the remaining fish. Arrange a bed of watercress or young arugula leaves on a salad plate, and set the fish on top. Spoon 2 or 3 tablespoons of Sauce Gribiche over it (see page 160), or, if you don't have that handy, use about 2 tablespoons mayonnaise thinned and tarted up with a little plain yogurt or lemon juice and seasoned with a small, finely chopped cornichon (or part of a dill pickle) and 1/2 teaspoon capers. Garnish with some strips of roasted red pepper-your own (see page 242) or from a jar-a few black olives, and some cherry tomatoes. Or try the Fish Salad recipe on page 157. These are just suggestions. Use your imagination, based on what you may have on hand.

SALMON, ASPARAGUS, AND LEEK IN PARCHMENT



Salmon, Asparagus, and Leek in Parchment image

Cooking fresh salmon en papillote (that is, in parchment) is a messproof way to coax the most flavor from the fish without adding a lot of oil or butter -- and it's pretty much impossible to dry the salmon out with this cooking method.This recipe is one of our Better Basics: 10 New Takes on Family Favorites, see the others.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 bunch asparagus (about 8 ounces), trimmed and thinly sliced on the bias
1 small leek, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced, washed well, and drained
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 skinless salmon fillets (each about 5 ounces and 1 inch thick), preferably wild
1/4 cup packed fresh herbs, such as tarragon, dill, basil, or parsley, or a combination, for serving
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Cut four 12-by-17-inch pieces of parchment. Fold each in half crosswise to make a crease, then unfold and lay flat. Toss asparagus and leek with oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper. Arrange a fillet on one side of crease on each piece of parchment. Top with asparagus mixture, dividing evenly. Fold each piece of parchment over, then make small overlapping pleats to seal open sides, creating half-moon-shaped packets.
  • Bake on 2 rimmed baking sheets, 10 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to plates and carefully cut packets open with kitchen shears (steam will be released). Serve, topped with herbs and squeezed with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • For the freshest fish, choose fillets that are firm and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong, fishy odor.
  • To prevent the fish from sticking to the parchment paper, lightly grease the paper with olive oil or cooking spray.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish. Fish is cooked through when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • If you don't have parchment paper, you can use aluminum foil. Just be sure to grease the foil well to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • This recipe is also great for cooking other types of fish, such as salmon, tilapia, or cod.

Conclusion:

Fish fillets in parchment with asparagus and orange is a simple and delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection in the parchment paper, and the asparagus and orange add a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is also healthy and low in calories, making it a great choice for those who are watching their weight.
