Baked Fish en Papillotte
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 square of kitchen parchment or aluminum foil, large enough to make a loose packet around the fish fillet
- 1 bluefish fillet
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 1 teaspoon roughly chopped capers
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Watercress for garnish
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Use about a third of the olive oil to smear on the parchment or foil.
- Place the fillet on the oiled surface, and sprinkle the rest of the oil on top.
- Strew the lemon rind and capers over the top, and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper to taste.
- Draw the sides and ends of the paper or foil up over the fish to form a loose packet.
- Crimp the edges together to make a tight seal.
- Place the fish on a tray or cookie sheet.
- Place in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes.
- Serve the whole packet on a dinner plate; diners open their packets at table.
- Garnish with watercress.
