Fish Bundles

When the French cook en papillote, they steam the food in cooking parchment. Here we use aluminum foil to provide the same results. Both preparation and cleanup are super quick.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4, 3 ounces fish per serving

Ingredients

Cooking spray
4 fish fillets, such as mahi-mahi (about 4 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry
1 teaspoon bottled chopped garlic or 2 medium garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
8 or 12 fresh basil leaves
4 medium Italian plum (Roma) tomatoes, cored and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
1/4 cup dry white wine (regular or nonalcoholic)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F or preheat the grill on medium.

    Step 2

    Tear off four sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12 x 10 inches. Fold each sheet in half, make a crease, then open again. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Place a fillet on one half of each sheet. Sprinkle each fillet with the garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes. Top with the basil and tomatoes. Pour 1 tablespoon wine over each serving. Fold the foil over the fish. Tightly fold up the foil to enclose the fish.

    Step 3

    Bake or grill for about 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. When unfolding the foil, be careful not to get a steam burn. Slide the contents of each packet onto a plate.
