Fresh Snapper En Papillote

January 31, 2023

INGREDIENTS

• 4 fresh fish snapper fillets, about 1 pound total
• 4 Tbs. Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• ¼ cup white wine
• 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
• 4 teaspoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
• 1 thin lemon slice for each fillet
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Special equipment needed:  4 squares of parchment paper

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Set each fish fillet in a large square of parchment paper. Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste. Top each fillet with one lemon slice, one tablespoon white wine, one teaspoon lemon juice, two teaspoons sliced spring onion, and one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Fold the parchment paper around the edges tightly in ¼" folds to create a half-moon shape. Press as you crimp and fold to seal the packets well to prevent steam from escaping.

Arrange the packets on a baking sheet. Bake until the fish is cooked through, about 12-15 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 to not leave the juices behind. 

Serve alongside rice, pasta, quinoa, or with a fresh salad for an ultra healthy, delicious meal.
