Into the center of the paper, place Half of the cubed halibut, 5 mussels, 3 shrimp. Pour half of the tomato-wine sauce over the seafood and top with 2 fresh thyme sprigs. Fold the parchment over so the edges meet and crimp and fold to make a tight seal all the way around. Carefully place the pouch on the rimmed baking sheet and set aside. Repeat with another sheet of parchment paper and the remaining halibut, mussels, shrimp, tomato-wine sauce and thyme. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. 3. Grill the baguette: Set a grill pan over medium-high heat. On a cutting board, brush the Baguette slices With the remaining Olive oil. Place the oiled baguette slices oiled-side down on the grill pan and cook until grill-marked, about 1½ to 2 minutes. Use the tongs to transfer to a large plate.4.
