Halibut in Parchment

0 comments


INGREDIENTS


  • 1 large russet potato, scrubbed and sliced 1/8-inch thick
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 ounces of baby spinach, well washed
  • 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 6-ounce halibut fillets, about 1 1/2 inches thick
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 


DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using two 12-by-17-inch sheets parchment paper, fold each sheet in half crosswise.
  2. 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. ** TIP: I made this the other night and I would suggest cooking the potatoes for a little while to soften them and then cut them up and season them. My potatoes were a little hard. It was delicious though! **
  3. 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.
