Steamed Fish And Vegetables In Stove Top Papillotte Recipes

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.

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.
