Servings :4
Ingredients
- 4 4-6oz White Fish Fillets (Tilapia, Cod, Haddok
- 1 Lemon cut into slices
- 1 Tbsp Butter divided into four slices
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Olive Oil
- Dill or Fennel Fronds optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper, approximately 12 inch square (or 12 inches by the length of your roll)
- Fold each piece of parchment in half and take a little olive oil and spread it where you plan to lay each piece of fish (this will prevent the fish from sticking)
- Place one piece of fish per piece of parchment paper next to the fold in the center
- Season with salt and pepper, then top with herbs (if using), 2 lemon slices and a pat of butter
- Fold the paper over and starting from one side near the fold roll the edges of the paper in to seal the fish and form a packet, it should look like a half moon
- Place the packets on a baking tray with some space between and put in the oven
- Bake for 10 - 12 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish
- You can serve directly by putting the packet on the plate or use a spatula to remove the fish and plate
Notes
This recipe can easily be modified by adding shallots, other fresh herbs, cherry tomatoes, capers or olives. If I have a bottle of wine open, I will sometimes add a tsp of wine to each packet. If you're looking for a healthier option you can use olive oil or coconut oil and omit the butter.
