Fish In A Bag Recipes

"LUNCHBAG" SWORDFISH WITH MEDITERRANEAN TOMATO SAUCE AND LINGUINI

Steps:

• Put tomatoes in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add oregano, parsley, garlic, onion, capers, peppers, olives, lemon juice, pepper oil, and 4 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil. Stir gently just to mix and set aside at least 1 hour. Adjust seasonings, if desired. Mixture will become more liquid and sauce-like over time.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook linguini until al dente. Drain and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Reserve.
• To cook the fish: (See Chef's Note below if using waxed paper.) Place a small square of parchment or waxed paper at the bottom of each paper bag. Place small pile of linguini in each of the bags. Top with a spoonful of tomato sauce, making sure to moisten the linguini with the juices. Lay a piece of fish on top and arrange with another spoonful of sauce. Moisten again with juices from the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
• Fold over the tops of the bags, place them on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes.
• To serve, transfer the bags to 4 dinner plates and let each diner cut open the package to enjoy the aromas.

FANCY BROWN BAG FISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Put a brown paper bag within another, to make a double layered bag.
• Place cod filet and broccolini on a plate. Drizzle with olive oil, season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Transfer to prepared paper bag and top fish with shallot and lemon slices. Add tomatoes to bag, roll top to close, and staple to secure. Place on a small baking sheet and transfer to oven.
• Roast 20 minutes. Remove from oven, carefully open, and finish with olive oil and an additional squeeze of lemon.

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.

CHEF JOHN'S SALMON IN PARCHMENT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Take two pieces of parchment paper, fold in half, and cut a half-circle starting at each crease. They should look similar to a heart-shape when unfolded. Coat each piece of parchment with olive oil on both sides.
• Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus, and cook uncovered until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, then immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the asparagus is cold, drain well, and set aside.
• Place 1 salmon fillet, half the asparagus, and half the potatoes in the middle of one side of a prepared parchment paper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Fold other half of circle over and seal parchment edge by making overlapping folds around the edge. At the end, fold the last crease in the opposite direction of the rest to ensure it seals. Repeat with the second piece of prepared parchment and remaining ingredients. Place pouches on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting open parchment. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

FISH IN A POUCH

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, garlic, salt, and white pepper. Use a rubber spatula to mix the ingredients well until smooth. This is called a compound butter.
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season each fish fillet with 1/2 teaspoon of the Baby Bam.
• Lay each fillet in the center of a piece of aluminum foil and spoon 2 tablespoons of the compound butter over the top of the fish.
• Bring the long edges of the aluminum foil together and make thin folds to form an airtight seal. One side at a time, bring the outer short edges together and fold 2 or 3 times inward to seal the sides of the pouch.
• Repeat with the remaining fish fillets.
• Lay the pouches on a baking sheet and place in the oven.
• Bake for 20 minutes.
• Using oven mitts or pot holders, remove the baking sheet from the oven and cut the pouches open with kitchen scissors, or carefully unfold the pouches. Watch out for steam-keep your face away!
• Serve immediately.
• Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine, using a wooden spoon. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

RED LOBSTER'S FISH IN A BAG RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Vegetable Mix: Mix vegetables and season with salt and pepper or Mrs. Dash vegetable seasoning. Fish In A Bag: Fold parchment paper in half short ways and crease. Unfold parchment paper and brush completely with melted butter to the edges. Place 1/2 cup vegetable mix in the center of the right half. Brush melted butter on two 2.5-ounce fresh fish filets and shake on a generous coating of Old Bay or Seafood seasoning. Place seasoned fish 1/2-inch apart on top of vegetable mix to allow for even cooking. Place one lemon wheel and one sprig of thyme on fish. Fold the left side of the parchment paper over the right side. Crimp paper (like a pie crust) until bottom and top of the paper are completely sealed. Brush top of parchment paper with melted butter to the edges to prevent bag from burning when cooked. Repeat for each serving. Place bags on a greased cookie sheet with an inverted buttered pie pan over each (to prevent paper from burning). Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. This recipe yields 4 servings.

COUSCOUS & FISH IN A BAG

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Fold a large sheet of foil or baking paper in half and tightly fold one side to seal. Grate the lemon zest and mix with the couscous, pine nuts, courgette and dill. Season well, then tip into the open 'bag'. Cut the lemon in half, then cut 2 thin slices from one half. Juice the other half and add the juice to the stock.
• Lay the haddock on top of the couscous, top with the lemon slices, then carefully pour over the lemony stock. Fold the remaining open sides tightly. Bake for 20-25 mins, depending on how thick your fish is, until the fish is cooked and couscous is fluffy.
