Foil Envelope Fish Recipes

COD WITH CASHEWS BAKED IN FOIL ENVELOPES

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F. Have ready four 12-inch squares of aluminum foil. Lightly oil the dull sides of the foil squares. Fold each square in half.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper and cook, stirring often, just until it begins to soften, about 1 minute. Add the scallions, ginger, and garlic, and stir until the garlic gives off its aroma, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, add the sugar snap peas, and stir just until they are coated with the oil. Season the vegetables lightly with salt and pepper (the soy sauce and ginger will provide salt and heat).
• Lightly season the cod with salt and pepper. Open a foil square and place a fillet on the bottom half. Top with one-fourth of the vegetables, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon butter, cut into a few pieces. Sprinkle with one fourth of the chopped cashews. Fold the square over to enclose the fish and vegetables, and tightly crimp the edges closed. Place on a large baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining fish, vegetables, soy sauce, and butter.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes (this will complete the cooking of the fish).
• To serve, place a foil packet on each dinner plate. Allow everyone to open each foil package by piercing it with the tip of a sharp dinner knife. You can spill the contents of the package onto each plate or eat directly out of the foil. Take care: The escaping steam can be very hot!

FISH IN FOIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Rinse fish, and pat dry.
• Rub fillets with olive oil, and season with garlic salt and black pepper. Place each fillet on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Top with jalapeno slices, and squeeze the juice from the ends of the lemons over the fish. Arrange lemon slices on top of fillets. Carefully seal all edges of the foil to form enclosed packets. Place packets on baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of fish. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
