Fish en Papillote
- 4 pieces Or Fillets Of Fish
- 2 whole Lemons
- 4 sprigs Cilantro
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 4 pieces Parchment Paper
- 4 pieces Twine
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice one lemon thinly and squeeze the juice out of the other.
- Wash and dry cilantro.
- Place parchment paper on a flat, clean, dry surface.
- Place fish in the center of the paper and LIGHTLY salt and pepper each side.
- Place 2 to 3 lemon slices on the fish.
- Place cilantro on top of the lemon.
- Drizzle with olive oil.
- Pull the corners up to form a little pouch and use the twine to tie it tightly.
- Repeat with the remaining fillets.
- Place on a baking sheet (I use a jelly roll in case any juices start flowing).
- Bake for about 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillet.
- Fish should flake easily, at a temp of 131 degrees.
- Be careful, the paper and twine will be hot!
- Note: you could try using different herbs each time you make this.
- Ive used parsley and basil with great success.
- Ive also used limes instead of lemons and added minced garlic and thinly sliced sundried tomatoes in different variations.
- You can really put just about anything on the fish!
- You can even toss in julienned veggies to make a whole meal!
