Fish Steamed In Packets Recipes

BAKED FISH-IN-FOIL WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400F degrees.
• Cut fish into four equal pieces. Set aside
• In a small glass bowl whisk the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Set aside
• Cut 8 pieces of aluminum foil that is big enough to accomodate the fish and vegetable.
• Place one piece of foil on the counter/ work surface. On the first layer add 5-6 asparagus spears. On top of the asparagus place 6 zucchini rounds. Place the fish on top of the zucchini. Top the fish with 2-3 cherry tomatoes, whole or halved.
• Season each fish and vegetable packet with garlic oregano oil.
• Top the fish with a second piece of foil. Fold both bottom and top foil pieces together tightly.
• Place the fish packets on a sheet pan and bake for 18-20 minutes.
• Carefully open fish packets away from your face, as it will release lots of hot steam.
• Completely remove the top foil. You can either serve the fish in foil packets or slide the fish and vegetables onto a plate. Add a lemon slice and fresh cilantro to each packet

FISH STEAMED IN PACKETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Tear 4 lengths of parchment paper or foil, each about 18 inches long. Fold each length across in half and unfold. On 1/2 of each piece of paper place 1/4 of the fish. Top each piece of fish with 1/4 of the scallions.
• Whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce and honey until the honey is dissolved. Drizzle over the fish; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Crimp or fold over the edges to form a sealed packet. Repeat forming 4 packets. Place them on 2 baking sheets.
• Bake in the center of the oven for about 13 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the packets are puffed. Remove from the oven and transfer a packet to each plate. Cut the top of the packets and open carefully to avoid the escaping steam and serve the fish in the open packets.
• Or, if you serve the fish with a side dish that will benefit from the addition of the tasty fish juice, empty the fish and sauce onto your plate!

FISH IN FOIL PACKETS RECIPE (GRILLED OR BAKED)!

Steps:

• If grilling, preheat the grill to Medium-High.
• If baking, preheat the oven to 400F.
• Prepare 4 sheets of foil, put them on the counter and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
• Slice the butter into 8 pieces.
• Put each fish fillet in the middle of the foil sheet.
• Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper.
• Put 2 pieces of butter on top of each fish fillet.
• Put the lemon slices on top of the fish.
• Fold the foil up from both ends to make closed foil packets.
• If grilling, put the foil packets on the grill, close the grill and grill for 7 minutes per side.
• If baking, put the foil packets on the baking sheet, put in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
• Unwrap 1 foil packet to check for doneness (the fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork). If not done, wrap it back and cook the fish for 5 more minutes.

STEAMED FISH EN PAPILLOTE

Steps:

• Prepare parchment packets Heat the oven to 400°F. Lightly season fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Cut four pieces of parchment paper (each measuring 12 by 17 inches) and lay them on a clean work surface. Fold each in half crosswise; then open, and lay flat. Divide spinach leaves among parchment, mounding it on one side of the fold. Divide the compound butter in half, then divide one of the halves among the four packets, spooning it on top of the spinach; top each with 2 lemon slices. Lay a fillet on top of the lemons and spoon remaining compound butter on fish. Fold over parchment and then form the half-moon packet: beginning at one of the corners, make small overlapping pleats all the way around to seal the edges completely.
• Steam packets Transfer packets to a rimmed baking sheet, and cook in the oven until parchment puffs up, about 12 minutes (8 minutes per inch of thickness for firm-fleshed fish).
• Serve Immediately place a packet on each of four plates and use kitchen shears to cut open the packets at the table. Serve with lemon wedges.
• Ingredients
• Firm-fleshed fish varieties with plenty of flavor work best with the caper butter in this recipe; try halibut, salmon, or striped bass.
• Since they can be rinsed, salt-packed capers will actually taste less salty than those packed in brine and have a pure caper taste. Use nonpareil capers whenever possible.

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.
