Fish En Papillote image

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.

CITRUS TILAPIA EN PAPILLOTE

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1 clove garlic, mashed
Zest of 1 lemon
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Four 4-ounce tilapia fillets
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fresh baby spinach, for serving
Grilled Summer Relish, recipe follows
2 scallions, white and pale green parts only
1 ear corn
1 orange bell pepper
1 yellow squash, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to medium heat. Fold four sheets of foil in half crosswise to crease, and then unfold.
  • Combine the oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, lemon zest, orange zest and orange juice in a small bowl. Mix well to combine.
  • Place 1 fillet on one side of the crease on each sheet of foil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Divide the oil mixture equally among the fillets.
  • Working with 1 foil sheet at a time, fold the foil over the fillet and tightly crimp the edges of the foil to close the packets to create a papillote. Place each papillote on the grill and close the lid of the grill. Grill until the papillotes are fully puffed, about 12 minutes.
  • Carefully cut the foil to open and serve the fillets on the spinach and top with the Grilled Summer Relish.
  • Prepare the grill to medium heat. Brush the scallions, corn, bell pepper and squash on both sides with the oil. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Grill the vegetables until slightly charred and just tender, turning often, about 5 minutes for the scallions, 8 minutes for the squash and pepper and 10 minutes for the corn. Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Cut the corn from the cob directly into a bowl and mix in the scallions, peppers and squash.
  • Meanwhile whisk the lemon juice, oil, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Add the oil mixture to the bowl of vegetables; toss to coat.

TILAPIA EN PAPILLOTE



Tilapia En Papillote image

This was supposed to be made originally with shrimp, but I didn't have any. So, I left out the shrimp and used Tilapia for the fish. The vegies I chose were broccoli and cauliflower. I also made some roasted potatoes for a side dish.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm tilapia fillets. Fresh tilapia fillets should be firm to the touch and have a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Avoid fillets that are slimy, discolored, or have an off-odor.
  • Use parchment paper or aluminum foil folds to create the papillote. Parchment paper is a better choice because it is more heat-resistant and less likely to stick to the fish. However, aluminum foil can also be used.
  • Add your favorite vegetables and seasonings to the papillote. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, and garlic. You can also add herbs and spices such as thyme, rosemary, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fish. Tilapia is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it just until it is cooked through. Overcooked tilapia will be dry and tough.

Tilapia en Papillote with Shrimp is a delicious and healthy seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Whether you are a beginner cook or a seasoned pro, this dish is sure to impress. Give it a try tonight and let me know how it turns out!
