HALIBUT EN PAPILLOTE

It's a super easy, super fast, and really flavorful way to prepare halibut but the best part happens at the table, when you tear open that parchment paper package. You can see the quinoa, the bright vegetables, and the steam rising off to the side...that's when you know you're in business.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup turnips
1/4 cup carrots
1/4 cup sugar snap peas
1/4 cup shallot, sliced
1/4 cup jalapeno, minced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup cabbage, thinly sliced
2 cups quinoa, cooked
salt
Pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
4 halibut fillets, skinless, 3 oz each
1 lemon
Scallions, white and light green parts, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (convection, if possible). Prepare the vegetables: Peel and slice the turnip on a mandoline, then julienne into matchsticks. Set aside. Do the same for the carrots. Then slice the shallot, jalapeno, sugar snap peas, garlic, and cabbage. The vegetables should be roughly the same size, so they cook evenly.
  • Assemble the papillote: Lay parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet. Place 1/2 cup quinoa in the middle of the parchment and then layer 1/4 of each vegetable on top (for 4 individual papillotes). Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Place a halibut fillet on top and drizzle with more olive oil, salt, and a bit of lemon zest. Bring the two sides of the parchment up over the halibut, align the edges, and fold down the parchment tightly over the fish. Turn the packet and fold the ends of the parchment under the fish to create a tight packet. Bake 8-12 minutes.
  • Finish the dish: The halibut is cooked when the fish is opaque and firm to the touch. Set the packet on a serving plate and carefully open. Finish with 1 tablespoon olive oil, scallions, and lemon juice and serve.

Cooking en papillote (in parchment) seals in the moisture of fish fillets, yielding a silken entree and perfectly crisp-tender vegetables.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Zest from 2 limes, finely shredded
3 limes, juiced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 piece (2 inches) ginger, peeled and julienned
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 mild to spicy red chiles, halved
4 fillets (6 ounces each) black bass, halibut, or striped bass
4 heads baby bok choy (or 1 large head, quartered)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 sprigs fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix lime zest and juice, garlic, ginger, onion, and chiles in a medium bowl. Fold four 20-inch pieces of parchment in half lengthwise. Unfold, and place 1 fillet and 1 head bok choy along each crease. Rub both with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Top each fillet with some onion mixture and 2 sprigs cilantro.
  • Fold parchment over fish, making small overlapping folds along edges and sealing with a paper clip. Place on rimmed baking sheets. Roast until parchment puffs, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully cut packets, avoiding escaping steam, and serve.
