Orange Marmalade From Spain
Aluminum foil is an easy and always-available alternative to the parchment paper traditionally used for cooking en papillote. As the fish and vegetables bake in their packets, they render a delicious broth that is then poured over the fish at serving time.
INGREDIENT :
- 4 sea-bass fillets, about 1 inch thick (about 2 pounds in all)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup pesto, store-bought or homemade
- 3 carrots, grated
- 1 zucchini, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
RECIPE DIRECTION :
- Heat the oven to 450°. Put four 12-inch squares of aluminum foil on a work surface and brush lightly with cooking oil.
- Put a fish fillet in the center of each square of foil. Sprinkle the fillets with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Spread the fish with the pesto. Cover the pesto with the carrots and top with the zucchini. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Gather the foil around the fish and drizzle the fish with the oil and wine. Fold the edges of the foil to make a sealed package. Put the foil packages on a baking sheet.
- Bake the fish until just done, about 12 minutes. Open the foil packages and transfer the fillets with their vegetable topping to plates. Pour the juices over the top.
