Halibut, Squash, Tomatoes, and Olives image

Steaming food in parchment -- or en papillote, as it's traditionally called -- is a low-fat way to cook a full meal in one shot: The juices from each ingredient are sealed inside the pouch to flavor the dish. Plus, it makes for a dramatic presentation.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 skinless 6-ounce halibut fillets
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 yellow squash
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup pitted oil-cured black olives
2 whole sprigs fresh thyme
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly season the halibut fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper (12 by 16 inches each) and lay them on a clean work surface. Fold each in half crosswise, making a crease in the middle, then open and lay flat.
  • Cut yellow squash into julienned strips and divide among parchment rectangles, mounding on one side of the fold. Season with salt and pepper. Lay a piece of halibut on top of each pile of squash. Divide the cherry tomatoes (sliced in half, if large) and olives between the four piles and top each pile with thyme. Drizzle each with oil.
  • Starting in one corner, fold each packet into a half-moon and seal well. Transfer packets to a rimmed baking sheet, and cook in the oven until parchment puffs up, about 12 to 14 minutes. To serve, place each packet on a plate and cut open with kitchen shears at the table, being careful not to burn yourself when the steam escapes.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The squash and tomatoes are sweet, the olives are salty, and the halibut is flaky and mild. It's a perfect balance of flavors.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover rice. I made a big batch of rice on the weekend and used it to make this dish on Monday night. It was a quick and easy meal that was also delicious.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
