RECIPE BY Oxmoor House

En papillote is the French term for food baked in a parchment paper packet. Steam trapped inside the packet gently cooks the fish as the other ingredients meld into an intensely flavorful, chunky vegetable sauce. Serve the dish with crusty French bread.

Prep: 15 minutes; Cook: 15 minutes

  • 4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets (about 1 inch thick)

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh salsa, divided
  • 1 (9-ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed

First off, this is very easy to make. Very little clean up thanks to the paper. The fish was tender and moist, and full of flavor. Great lemon flavor, but not too overpowering. I felt like a pro serving my family the fish in cool little paper packets. I might use a little more salsa next time. I purchased the salsa, just a chunky mild salsa. We ended up salting the artichokes while eating, so I might season them a little before hand. Great recipe, easy to make. It did take closer to 20-25 minutes to cook. Will make again for sure. My 5 year old all of his, and 2 year old ate 3/4 of hers. So overall very good.
