French In A Flash: Cod En Papillote Recipe
- 4 to 6 ounces thick boneless, skinless cod fillet
- 1 teaspoon butter
- Herbs (fennel fronds, marjoram, chervil, chives, dill, parsley, basil, thyme, rosemary-the more, the better)
- 1 tablespoon dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon creme fraiche
- Zest of 1/8 lemon
- Salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 400u0b0F.
- Assemble as many packages as you like, following these instructions:
- In the center of a large square of heavy duty foil, place 1 teaspoon butter. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides, and place on the butter. Top with a good amount of herbs, zest, white wine, and creme fraiche. Seal the bundle, and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, and serve immediately. I like to serve it with crusty warm bread or plain boiled potatoes.
- You can get creative with herbs here, but if you don't know where to start, here are some of my favorite combinations:
- Fennel fronds and chervil: Light and fresh and not intrusive.
- Basil and tarragon: Very summery.
- Rosemary and thyme: Woodsy and autumnal.
- Parsley and dill: Dill being a distinctive seafood herb, this is quite traditional.
- Fennel fronds, chervil, parsley, marjoram, chives: What I used personally, proving that sometimes more is more.
