Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 lemon, halved crosswise
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
10 unblemished large outer romaine leaves (from 2 heads)
4 (6-oz) pieces halibut, cod, or other white fish fillet (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches thick)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F and coat inside of a 13- by 9-inch glass or ceramic baking or gratin dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Cut 2 thin slices from each lemon half and squeeze juice from remaining lemon.
  • Mash together remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and shallot and season well with salt and pepper. Sprinkle dish with remaining juice.
  • Cook lettuce in a large pot of salted boiling water 1 minute. Immediately transfer with tongs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Drain lettuce and cut out ribs, leaving top 1 inch of leaves intact.
  • Spread out 1 lettuce leaf lengthwise on a work surface. Place another leaf on first leaf, overlapping enough to cover any holes (use 2 extra leaves if necessary). Season 1 piece halibut with salt and pepper and place crosswise in center of lettuce. Spread top of fish with one fourth of shallot butter. Wrap lettuce over fish to form a packet (don't worry if ends aren't covered by lettuce) and transfer to baking dish. Make 3 more packets in same manner, arranging them close together in baking dish.
  • Top each packet with a lemon slice. Cover packets with a sheet of wax or parchment paper, then tightly cover dish with foil.
  • Bake in middle of oven until centers of packets are just firm to the touch, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on thickness of fish. Serve with pan juices poured over packets.

This recipe was just okay. The halibut was cooked well, but the flavors were nothing special. I probably won't be making this again.

This recipe was a waste of time and money. The halibut was tough and the flavors were terrible. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The halibut was overcooked and the flavors were bland. I will not be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I will definitely be making it again, but I will use less chili pepper next time.
