Pick your favorite fish for this spicy, savory treatment! This preparation method is called "en papillote," which translates simply to "in a bag."
Ingredients
SERVINGS: Serves 4
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons white miso
- 1 small Thai chili, seeded and minced (or to taste)
- Zest from 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
- 4 large carrots, thinly sliced lengthwise into ribbons
- 4 fillets (6 ounces each) fish
- Sea salt
- Scallions, for serving
Preparation
- Combine butter, miso, chili, and lime zest in a small bowl.
- Fold 4 pieces of 16-inch-long parchment in half lengthwise and unfold. Arrange carrots on each piece of parchment along one side of the crease. Top each with a piece of fish; lightly season with salt, and smear with 2 tablespoons miso butter.
- Fold parchment over fish and seal by making small overlapping folds around edges. Bake for 10–12 minutes until packet puffs up.
- To serve, cut packets and carefully transfer carrots and fish to serving plate, top with scallions, and serve with lime wedge. Or serve fish right out of cut packets.
