Fish en Papillote with Julienned Vegetables and Truffle Oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 1 large leek, julienned
- 1 celery rib, julienned
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for brushing
- 2 thin fish fillets, no thicker than 1/3 inch, such as pompano or flounder, about 6 ounces each, skin removed
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons white truffle oil
- Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Add the carrot, leek, and celery.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook gently, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and cool.
- Preheat the toaster oven to 425 degrees F. Cut out a 13 by 15-inch parchment paper rectangle.
- Fold in half crosswise.
- Unfold and brush the whole rectangle lightly with some oil.
- Lay the fillets on one half of the parchment, skinned side down, and season with salt and pepper.
- Drain the vegetables of as much liquid as possible and divide among the fillets.
- Drizzle with the lemon juice.
- Top each vegetable mound with 1 teaspoon butter and drizzle each with 1 teaspoon of the truffle oil.
- Fold the other half of the paper over the fillets and, starting with the top, make 1/4-inch folds all around the perimeters and press to crimp and seal.
- Close the final crimp with a paper clip.
- Place the packet on a baking sheet and bake until puffed and lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Transfer to a warmed serving plate and serve at once, preferably while the packet is still puffed.
