Fish en Papillote, Mediterrnanean-style

Step 1

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Step 2

Season the fish with kosher salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Prepare the sauce. Place the olive oil, lemon juice, shallots, garlic and spices in a small mixing bowl or measuring cup and whisk to combine.

Step 4

Prepare 4 large pieces of parchment paper (about 12 inches or so on each side). Fold the parchment pieces down the middle to mark two halves.

Step 5

Assemble the pouches. Place each fish fillet on the bottom half of a parchment piece. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the prepared sauce over the fish. Add 1 lemon slice, 1 tomato slice, and 1 bell pepper slice on top.

Step 6

Fold the top half of the parchment paper over the fish and veggies and go around to fold and secure each piece of parchment around the fish and veggies creating a well-wrapped pouch.

Step 7

Place the fish pouches on a large baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack of your heated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily.

Step 8

To serve, leave the fish and veggies in their own closed parchment pouches and transfer each pouch to a serving plate.
