Cod in a Sack with Fennel and Onion
- 1 bulb fennel, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 4 large cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup pitted and chopped good quality black and green olives
- 2 pounds cod fillets, cut into 4 portions (get thick pieces from the center cuts rather than tail-end pieces)
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, a generous handful, chopped
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for generous drizzling
- 1 lemon
- Crusty bread, to pass at table
- Parchment paper
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Rip off 4 sheets of parchment paper, each a little over a foot long.
- Make layered stacks dividing the fennel, onions, garlic, olives, and cod among the parchment pieces, working in the center of each piece of paper.
- Season the cod with salt and pepper and top with parsley.
- Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil liberally over the fish portions.
- Fold the top and bottom edges together and crease several times then crease up the ends of the packets.
- Arrange the packets on the baking sheet and place in the center of the hot oven.
- Bake packets 20 minutes.
- Serve a packet per dinner plate and cut open at table.
- Cut lemon into wedges and serve to squeeze down over the hot fish.
- Pass bread to mop up the cooking juices in the sack.
