FISH IN PAPILLOTE
 
  Ingredients
2 - 4 ounces fish fillets (such as salmon, whitefish, etc...)
1 medium   tomato cut in small cubes
2 large

mushrooms sliced

2 sprigs thyme (or 1/4 tsp dried)
2 sprigs tarragon (or 1/4 tsp dried)
2 green onions, chopped
2 Tbsp Chicken broth
  Fresh parsley, chopped

 

Fresh ground pepper

 
     
  Method  
Preheat oven to 425° F. Spray parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray. Place tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms near the center on one half of the parchment paper. Put skinned fillet (skin side down) on top of vegetables. Sprinkle with pepper and place herbs on top. Fold parchment in half over fish. Fold all edges securely (double fold). When you get to the end of the parchment, inflate by blowing up with a straw. Remove quickly and double fold to seal in air. Place on cookie sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes. Paper will brown slightly. To serve, move papillote carefully to a plate. Cut an "X" in the middle of the papillote, and fold back to reveal the fish.
