Bonnies Fabulous Fish In A Sack Papillotte Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Use about a third of the olive oil to smear on the parchment or foil. Place the fillet on the oiled surface, and sprinkle the rest of the oil on top. Strew the lemon rind and capers over the top, and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper to taste.
• Draw the sides and ends of the paper or foil up over the fish to form a loose packet. Crimp the edges together to make a tight seal.
• Place the fish on a tray or cookie sheet. Place in the oven, and bake for 10 minutes. Serve the whole packet on a dinner plate; diners open their packets at table. Garnish with watercress.
