White Fish En Papillote with Edamame Succotash

Fish en papillote is a fancy (French) way of saying "cooked in parchment paper". This method of cooking seals the moisture into the fish keeping it tender and flakey.

Equipment

  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

For the pacific halibut:

  • 1 pound pacific halibut (or another white fish), cut into 4 filets
  • 2 medium lemons, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground white pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 tablespoons dry white wine, divided

For the edamame succotash:

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • ¼ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup sweet corn
  • 1 ½ cup shelled edamame
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds
  • Kosher salt, as needed

Instructions

For the pacific halibut:

  • Heat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper so they are roughly 12 x 14-inches. Halve the pieces of parchment paper and cut half a heart into the paper so it makes a full heart.
  • Working one at a time, arrange slices of lemon on one side of the parchment paper then top with one slice of fish. Season the fish with salt and pepper and top with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the white wine.
  • Working from one end, begin to tightly fold the edges of the parchment paper so that the package is completely sealed. Repeat with the remaining fish. Add packages to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until fish is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.

For the edamame succotash:

  • Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and heat through. Add the shallots and garlic and sauté until the shallots are tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the peppers, corn and edamame and cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat to a medium mixing bowl. Toss with the red wine vinegar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until chilled. Stir in the cilantro and almonds. Season with salt to taste.
  • Serve the cooked fish filets topped with the chilled edamame succotash.
