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.

Categories     Main Course

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.

RED SNAPPER WITH GARLIC-LEMON-DILL BUTTER



Red Snapper with Garlic-Lemon-Dill Butter image

Robust ocean fish seeks tangy, buttery garnish for epicurean adventure. This garnish works well on most types of fish, but it was hatched using red snapper because I had a lemon and a single sprig of dill that needed to be used and the red snapper was the best looking fresh fish in the case. I've done Alaskan sockeye salmon the same way to good effect. Pairs well with pasta or rice, shown with my go-to Fettuccine with Sweet Pepper-Cayenne Sauce from this site, and fresh vegetables.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest red snapper fillets. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Use high-quality parchment paper. Parchment paper that is too thin will tear easily and allow the juices to escape from the papillotes. Make sure to use parchment paper that is specifically designed for cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the papillotes. Each papillote should contain a single red snapper fillet, along with the vegetables and herbs. If you overcrowd the papillotes, the fish will not cook evenly.
  • Seal the papillotes tightly. To prevent the juices from escaping, it is important to seal the papillotes tightly. You can do this by folding the parchment paper over several times and then crimping the edges with a fork.
  • Cook the papillotes at a high temperature. This will help to quickly cook the fish and vegetables and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Serve the papillotes immediately. Once the papillotes are cooked, they should be served immediately. This will ensure that the fish is still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Red snapper papillotes with lemon and thyme is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The fish is cooked to perfection in the parchment paper, and the vegetables and herbs add a burst of flavor. This dish is sure to impress your family and friends.
