Cod En Papillote

Light, fresh, easy to put together and totally delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 4-5 oz. Piece of cod per person; preferably Captains Cut
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 slice Lemon per piece of cod
  • 1 small Shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 sprig Thyme per piece of cod
  • 1/2 tsp. Chopped lemon verbena per piece
  • 1 capful Dry white wine per piece
  • Olive oil both under and over the cod; about 1 tsp. total

Instructions

  • Assemble the packets. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Fold a 12x16 inch sheet of parchment paper in half, then open it up. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the center of the paper. Place the cod on top of the olive oil in the center of the paper. Generously season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the toppings. Top the cod with 1 slice of lemon, a few slices of shallot, a sprig of thyme and about 1 tsp. of lemon verbena. Drizzle with a little more olive oil.
  • Fold and seal. Fold the top half of the parchment paper over the bottom half, then tightly roll up the edges around the cod. Repeat this process with all other pieces of cod.
  • Bake. Place the parchment packages on a baking sheet, place in the oven, and bake for 14 to 18 minutes. This will depend on the thickness of the cod. When done the cod should be opaque, glistening and flake easily with a fork.
