Halibut In Parchment Food

HALIBUT IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using two 12-by-17-inch sheets parchment paper, fold each sheet in half crosswise.
• Place 1 sheet of parchment flat on a work surface. Place half of the potatoes, garlic, spinach, shallots, and 2 lemon slices on one side of the crease; season with salt and pepper. Place halibut on top of lemon slices, and season with salt and pepper. Fold parchment over ingredients. Make small overlapping folds along the edge to seal.
• Place packets on a baking sheet. Bake until packets have puffed, and fish is cooked through, about 18 minutes. Transfer packets to individual plates. Serve immediately, opening packets at the table. Garnish with any remaining lemon slices.

HALIBUT BAKED IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Divide halibut into 4 pieces. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• On a baking sheet, place fish in parchment cooking bag or on a large sheet of parchment paper. Scatter green onions and capers over fish. Close bag tightly or wrap up parchment.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes. Fish is done when you can see liquid bubbling in the cooking bag and the parchment is very lightly browned.

HALIBUT IN PARCHMENT PAPER

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Toss together the parsley, red onion, zucchini, yellow squash, tomato and salt and pepper.
• Place each halibut filet on a piece of parchment paper and top with vegetable mixture.
• Place 1 tablespoon of butter on top of each.
• Fold halibut in parchment paper and roll edges to seal. Place on a sheet pan and cook for 20 to 25 minutes.

HALIBUT EN PAPILLOTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the olives, capers, garlic and anchovy to a food processor. Add 1/2 cup olive oil and black pepper to taste. Process to form a silky paste with small pieces of olive and capers remaining, 15 to 20 seconds. Drizzle in more olive oil as needed. Remove the tapenade from the carafe, then drizzle with olive oil and set aside.
• Drizzle the center of each of 4 large circles of parchment paper with some olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top each piece with a thin layer of fennel and some leeks. Top each with a dollop of the olive tapenade and 2 to 3 lemon slices. Lay the fish on top of the lemon slices and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold the parchment in half to cover the fish, then crimp the edges shut, being sure to cover the corner of each previous fold. When you are halfway through folding, add 1 tablespoon of white wine to each packet, then continue to fold until the entire package is formed and closed. Place each packet on a baking sheet.
• Bake the fish for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, then place each packet on a plate. Cut open the top of the paper to expose the fish. Garnish each fillet with the Calabrian chiles and basil. Serve immediately.

HALIBUT IN CARTOCCIO

Steps:

• Fold 4 (9 by 13-inch) pieces of parchment paper in half and starting at the top of the fold, cut a large half circle from the paper. When the fold is opened it should be a full circle. It is okay if it is not a perfect circle-a heart shape is even better. Reserve.
• In a bowl combine the zucchini, butternut squash, Brussels sprouts and leeks. Toss generously with olive oil and season with the thyme leaves and salt. Oil and salt the halibut as well.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Open the parchment paper circles (or hearts) and brush the paper with olive oil leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
• Divide the seasoned vegetables between the 4 papers, placing them in the center just above the crease. Lay the fish fillets on top of the vegetables and place a lemon slice on top of each fish fillet. Fold the paper over the fish. Working from 1 end of the parchment to the other fold the bottom of the paper over the top to crease and seal the packets. The closure needs to be very secure so the steam will not escape during the cooking process. Before the package is completely sealed, carefully add 1/2 cup wine in each then seal. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the oven, place on serving dishes and serve immediately. Have each diner slice open their own parchment package so they can get the full effect of the burst of aromatic steam that will be released from the package.

HALIBUT IN PARCHMENT

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide cabbage and carrot among four 16-inch-long pieces of parchment. Top with fish, cilantro, and ginger and season with salt. Drizzle with oil and vinegar.

• Place packets on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until puffed and fish is opaque, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer packets to plates, gently pull open, and serve immediately.
