Best Steamed Fish En Papillote Recipes

STEAMED FISH AND VEGETABLES IN STOVE-TOP PAPILLOTTE

Steps:

• Tear off 2 large pieces of plastic wrap (the type which is designed to use in the microwave oven); each one should be large enough to enclose the fish and vegetables in a single layer.
• Rub lemon juice on both sides of halibut. Layer half cup of snow peas on bottom of plastic wrap and drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil. Place fish over that and bring up plastic wrap to totally enclose the fish.
• Set a cake rack over simmering water in a deep skillet. Turn fish packages upside down so snow peas are on top. Layer them on the cake rack and cover with a round bowl or cover to entrap steam. Cook for 5 minutes or until fish and vegetables are cooked through.
• While fish is steaming, tomato seeds with a spoon and cut them into a fine dice; toss with dice with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and spoon the tomatoes on dinner plates.
• When fish is done, with scissors, carefully open package (watch out for your hands). Pose fish and vegetables over tomatoes and drizzle juices over the top; season with salt and pepper and garnish top with basil.

FISH EN PAPILLOTE

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, add the Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil, garlic, parsley, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Zest the lemon right into the bowl (reserve the whole lemon). With a fork, mash the butter with canola oil to smoothly combine all of the ingredients. Cut the whole lemon into thin slices (you will need 8 slices total for the recipe).
• Assemble the Packets: Tear off 4 squares of parchment that are at least 12 inches on each side. Lay the sheet flat on a work surface. Place 1 cup of salad greens in the center of a sheet, leaving space at the top and bottom. On top of the greens, place 1 fish fillet so that it runs vertically top to bottom. Lightly sprinkle the fish with salt. With the back of a small spoon, spread one-quarter of the butter mixture on top of the fish. Lay 2 slices of lemon on top of the butter mixture and scatter 6 tomato halves around the fish.
• Fold the Parchment Packets: Lift the right and left sides of the paper up and towards the center, directly above the fish. Touch the two sides together and tightly roll them, folding as you go, until you reach the fish. Now, roll and crimp the top and bottom ends, rolling them towards the counter, away from the center of the fish. When you reach the end, tuck the end underneath the fish. Place the packet on a rimmed baking sheet, using the weight of the fish to hold the ends in place (you don't want the packet to come unsealed as it bakes). Repeat with remaining three packets. Reserve any remaining lemon slices for serving.
• Place in the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Serve warm with reserved lemon slices and additional fresh parsley as desired.

SABLEFISH EN PAPILLOTE WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND ORANGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Use a vegetable peeler to remove 8 strips of orange zest, leaving bitter white pith behind. Halve the orange and extract the juice. Cut out four 15-inch squares of parchment paper; fold each in half to make a crease, then open again. Place a fillet on one half of each parchment. Season all fish on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt, dividing evenly, and pepper; sprinkle with ginger, and drizzle with oil and juice. Arrange 2 zest strips, 6 shiitake pieces, and 6 cilantro sprigs on top of each fillet.
• Fold parchment over fish, and crimp the edges to form a half-moon shape, pleating repeatedly all the way around to seal. Place packets on a baking sheet and cook until paper puffs up, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; place packets on plates, and serve immediately, cutting them open at the table.

FISH EN PAPILLOTE

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a bowl, mix together the onion, zucchini, carrot and garlic. Adds the oil, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine. Put each fish fillet in a large square of parchment paper and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the vegetables on top, dividing evenly. Top the vegetables with 2 lemon slices, 2 sprigs thyme, a pat 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.
