Baked Cod in Parchment Paper

Cultural Context

Baked cod in parchment paper is a classic Mediterranean dish that highlights the use of fresh ingredients and simple cooking techniques. This method, known as 'en papillote,' allows the fish to steam in its own juices, resulting in a tender and flavorful meal. It's a popular choice for weeknight dinners and date nights, as it requires minimal cleanup and can be customized with various vegetables and herbs. Today, this technique has been embraced worldwide, making it a beloved way to prepare fish in many cuisines.

Add minced garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice on top of the fish.

6

7

Sprinkle capers and fresh herbs over the vegetables and fish.

8

Pour a splash of white wine around the fish for added flavor.

Fold the parchment paper over the fish and vegetables, crimping the edges to seal tightly.

10

Place the parchment packets on a baking sheet.

11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

12

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before opening the packets.

13

Carefully open the parchment packets, allowing steam to escape.
