Parchment Wrapped Pacific Halibut With Asparagus Tomatoes And Mustard Dill Sauce Recipes

HALIBUT IN PARCHMENT PAPER

Steps:

• 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 oven to 400 degrees F (convection, if possible). Prepare the vegetables: Peel and slice the turnip on a mandoline, then julienne into matchsticks. Set aside. Do the same for the carrots. Then slice the shallot, jalapeno, sugar snap peas, garlic, and cabbage. The vegetables should be roughly the same size, so they cook evenly.
• Assemble the papillote: Lay parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet. Place 1/2 cup quinoa in the middle of the parchment and then layer 1/4 of each vegetable on top (for 4 individual papillotes). Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Place a halibut fillet on top and drizzle with more olive oil, salt, and a bit of lemon zest. Bring the two sides of the parchment up over the halibut, align the edges, and fold down the parchment tightly over the fish. Turn the packet and fold the ends of the parchment under the fish to create a tight packet. Bake 8-12 minutes.
• Finish the dish: The halibut is cooked when the fish is opaque and firm to the touch. Set the packet on a serving plate and carefully open. Finish with 1 tablespoon olive oil, scallions, and lemon juice and serve.

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 PAPER WITH YUMMY SUMMER VEG

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500°F.
• Fold four 9 x 13-inch pieces of parchment paper in half. Starting at the top of the fold, cut each piece into a large half heart shape (takes you back to Valentine's Day in school, doesn't it?). When the papers are opened, they should be the shape of full hearts. If they're not perfect, that's okay, but a big heart is always better.
• In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, haricots verts, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and red pepper. Toss with olive oil and season with the thyme and salt. Oil and salt the halibut as well. This is the only chance to season the veggies and the fish, so take advantage of it! Taste the veggies; they should taste good. If not, adjust the seasoning.
• Open the parchment paper hearts and brush the paper with olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border.
• Divide the seasoned veggies evenly between the parchment hearts, then lay the fish on top and place two lemon slices on top of each fillet. Close the paper in half over the fish. Working from one end of the parchment to the other, fold the bottom of the paper over the top to create a closure. The seal needs to be really secure so the steam won't escape during the cooking process. Before the package is completely sealed, carefully pour an equal amount of wine into each and complete the enclosure. Put the packages on a baking sheet and cook for 8 to 9 minutes.
• Remove the packages from the oven and place each one on a serving dish. Give each diner the chance to slice open their own package so they can enjoy the burst of aromatic steam that will be released-it's like a fish facial!
• Parchment is traditional here, but you can use aluminum foil to wrap your fish and it will work just fine-even easier to seal!
