FISH EN PAPILLOTE, MEDITERRNANEAN-STYLE



Fish en Papillote, Mediterrnanean-style image

Tender, flavor-packed fish en papillote with green peppers, tomatoes, and a light lemony sauce, all cooked together in parchment parcels. I used cod fillet in this recipe, but any fish fillet that (no thicker than 1 inch) such as halibut, trout, snapper, or even salmon should work.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 lb cod fish fillet ((1-inch thick) cut into 4 pieces)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 tomato (thinly sliced into 4 rounds)
½ green bell pepper (cored, thinly sliced into 4 rounds)
½ lemon (thinly sliced into rings)
Handful pitted green olives (optional)
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon
1 shallot (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (chopped)
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp cumin

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Season the fish with kosher salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Prepare the sauce. Place the olive oil, lemon juice, shallots, garlic and spices in a small mixing bowl or measuring cup and whisk to combine.
  • Prepare 4 large pieces of parchment paper (about 12 inches or so on each side). Fold the parchment pieces down the middle to mark two halves.
  • Assemble the pouches. Place each fish fillet on the bottom half of a parchment piece. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce over the fish. Add 1 lemon slice, 1 tomato slice, and 1 bell pepper slice on top.
  • Fold the top half of the parchment paper over the fish and veggies and go around to fold and secure each piece of parchment around the fish and veggies creating a well-wrapped pouch.
  • Place the fish pouches on a large baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack of your heated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily.
  • To serve, leave the fish and veggies in their own closed parchment pouches and transfer each pouch to a serving plate.

FISH EN PAPILLOTE

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.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons finely chopped tender herbs (such as cilantro, chives, and/or parsley)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 pint cherry tomatoes (about 2 1/2 cups), quartered
2 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 (1/2"-thick) skinless flounder or tilapia fillets (about 6 ounces each)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped basil
Special Equipment
4 (16x12") sheets parchment paper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix butter, herbs, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl.
  • Fold parchment sheets in half and use scissors to cut halves into 4 large hearts. Unfold and place parchment hearts open on a work surface. Spoon 1 Tbsp. herb butter in the center of one half of each heart, then divide snap peas, tomatoes, and garlic evenly into small piles over butter. Lay fish over vegetables, then top with 1 Tbsp. herb butter; season each with 1/8 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Fold parchment over and crimp edges tightly to form a sealed packet.
  • Transfer packets to 2 large rimmed baking sheets, arranging in a single layer. Bake until just cooked through and a tester inserted through parchment slides through fish easily, about 13 minutes. Carefully cut open packets (steam will escape). Top with basil.
  • Do Ahead
  • Butter can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill. Fish packets can be assembled 4 hours ahead; chill. Let sit at room temperature 15 minutes before cooking.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fish. Fresh fish will have a mild, sweet flavor and a firm texture. Avoid fish that has a strong odor or a slimy texture.
  • Choose the right fish for your pouch. Some fish, such as salmon and cod, are more delicate and will cook quickly in a pouch. Other fish, such as tuna and swordfish, are more robust and can withstand longer cooking times.
  • Season your fish simply. A few簡單的 spices, such as salt, pepper, and garlic powder, will enhance the flavor of your fish without overpowering it.
  • Add vegetables to your pouch. Vegetables will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your fish dish. Choose vegetables that cook quickly, such as zucchini, squash, or bell peppers.
  • Use a good quality parchment paper or foil. Cheap parchment paper or foil can tear easily, which will cause your fish to leak. Make sure to use a brand that is specifically designed for cooking.
  • Fold your pouch tightly. A tightly folded pouch will prevent the steam from escaping, which will help to cook your fish evenly.
  • Cook your fish until it is just cooked through. Overcooked fish will be dry and tough. The best way to tell if your fish is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it is done.

Conclusion:

Cooking fish in a pouch is a healthy and delicious way to prepare this versatile ingredient. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and nutritious dish that the whole family will enjoy.
