Number Of Ingredients 11

Zest from 2 limes, finely shredded
3 limes, juiced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 piece (2 inches) ginger, peeled and julienned
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix lime zest and juice, garlic, ginger, onion, and chiles in a medium bowl. Fold four 20-inch pieces of parchment in half lengthwise. Unfold, and place 1 fillet and 1 head bok choy along each crease. Rub both with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Top each fillet with some onion mixture and 2 sprigs cilantro.

Baked Asparagus With Shiitake, Prosciutto and Couscous image

In this satisfying, set-it-and-forget-it spring dinner, asparagus, mushrooms and prosciutto are steamed in a parchment packet under low heat. The technique was inspired by a recipe in Paula Wolfert's "The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen: Recipes for the Passionate Cook." The parchment insulates the ingredients, while keeping the temperature steady and allowing the flavors to mingle. Here, the result is tender asparagus infused with earthy and sweet flavors from the mushrooms and prosciutto alike.

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, one pot, main course, side dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 main-course servings, or 4 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
1/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 1/4-inch strips
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Black pepper
Grated nutmeg
3 tarragon sprigs
3/4 cup whole-wheat couscous

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (it should be twice as long as the pan). Lay asparagus in a pile in the center. Scatter mushrooms and prosciutto on top. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, the pepper and nutmeg. Toss vegetables to coat evenly. Lay tarragon over top.
  • Fold parchment to completely enclose vegetables, and staple top and sides shut (or tie up with string). Transfer pan to oven and bake for 1 hour. Asparagus should be just cooked through. If too crisp, return to oven until done to taste.
  • In a small pot over medium-high heat, bring 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons water, 2 teaspoons olive oil and remaining salt to a simmer. Stir in couscous and remove pot from heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork.
  • Spoon couscous onto serving plates and drizzle with oil. Divide prosciutto and vegetables, and their juices, among the plates and serve.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
8 ounces medium asparagus (about 1/2 bunch), trimmed and halved lengthwise
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges for serving
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup water
4 skinless wild-salmon fillets (5 ounces and 1 inch thick each)

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 mushrooms, asparagus, and scallions with oil in a large bowl. Sprinkle with lemon zest and season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove asparagus from mixture and divide evenly among parchment pieces, creating a bed of spears on 1 side of crease. Top each with 1 piece of fish, then with mushroom mixture. Drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon water. To close, fold parchment pieces over each serving; make small overlapping pleats to seal the open sides and create 4 half-moon-shaped packets.
  • Bake packets on 2 baking sheets 9 minutes. Carefully cut open packets with kitchen shears (steam will be released). Serve fish, asparagus, and mushrooms with lemon wedges for squeezing.

BAKED FLOUNDER WITH ONION AND LEMON

Be careful when transferring the fish from the baking dish to the plate -- flounder is a fragile fish that falls apart easily. The lemons will be tender enough to eat, rind and all.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lemons, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 medium onions, peeled and sliced into very thin rounds (8 ounces each)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon freshly chopped thyme, plus several sprigs more
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Four 6-ounce flounder fillets

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange lemons and onions in a 9-by-13-inch Pyrex baking dish. Dot with butter; add wine and 1/4 cup cold water. Sprinkle with chopped thyme; season with salt and pepper. Bake until onions are soft and translucent, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove baking dish from oven. Arrange fish fillets over lemons and onions. Season fillets with salt and pepper. Scatter fresh thyme sprigs over fish. Baste fish with a little cooking liquid. Bake until fish is just opaque and cooked through, 16 to 18 minutes. Do not overcook. Serve fish with cooked onions and lemons.

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:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the taste of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the parchment paper. Leave some space between the食材, so they can cook evenly.
  • Fold the parchment paper tightly. This will help to create a seal and keep the flavors inside.
  • Cook the fish until it is just cooked through. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Serve the fish immediately. This is when it will be at its best.

Conclusion:

Flounder in parchment with asparagus and shiitakes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection in a flavorful broth, and the asparagus and shiitakes add a touch of sweetness and umami. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
