Fish Papillote
This is one of my favorite fancy dinners. I had it at Yardarm and fell in love with it so I looked up a recipe and i've been making it at home ever since. Its very easy to make.
The first time I made it I sliced the zucchini but I have a mandolin now so I can make everything pretty.
1 zucchini julienned
1 large carrot julienned
sprinkle of sea salt, cracked pepper and garlic powder (you can use fresh minced garlic if you'd like)
1 lemon thinly sliced
a sprig of thyme or sprinkle dried thyme on each filet
a sliver of butter on each filet
1 tablespoon of white wine on each filet (I buy a different kind each time)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a bowl, mix together the zucchini, carrot, garlic, salt and pepper to taste, and toss to combine. Put each fish fillet in a large square of parchment paper. Arrange the vegetables on top, dividing evenly. Top the vegetables with 2 lemon slices, 2 sprigs thyme, a sliver of butter and 1 tablespoon white wine, layering in order. Fold the parchment paper around the edges tightly in 1/4-inch folds to create a half moon shape. Make sure you press as you crimp and fold to seal the packets well, otherwise the steam will escape. Arrange the packets on a baking sheet. Bake until the fish is cooked through, about 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. To serve, cut open the packets and serve directly in the parchment on a plate or remove the fish to the plate using a spatula, being sure you don't leave the juices behind.
I usually make this with redfish but I have lots of red snapper in the freezer so i'll be trying it with that next. I also serve a salad on the side with this.

wow!
gonna look for any redfish hiding in the freezer...
I guess any firm flesh fish could work?
I bet it'd be really good w/a Tx/Mx version and add a little chile powder and cilantro and lime instead of lemon...
I HAVE TO DO THIS.

Yes, I wouldn't do it with flaky. It flakes right off the skin when its done. I've had it with black drum and that was good too.
Tex Mex version sounds good too.
I'll have to post more of my seafood recipes later. The next best thing to catching my own food is cooking it.
