Cod en PapilloteIngredients
  • 4 to 6 ounces thick boneless, skinless cod fillet
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • Herbs (fennel fronds, marjoram, chervil, chives, dill, parsley, basil, thyme, rosemary—the more, the better)
  • 1 tablespoon dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon crème fraiche
  • Zest of 1/8 lemon
  • Salt and pepper

Procedure

Preheat the oven to 400°F.



Assemble as many packages as you like, following these instructions:

In the center of a large square of heavy duty foil, place 1 teaspoon butter. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides, and place on the butter. Top with a good amount of herbs, zest, white wine, and crème fraiche. Seal the bundle, and place on a baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes, and serve immediately. I like to serve it with crusty warm bread or plain boiled potatoes.
