White Fish in Parchment
White Fish in Parchment
100 g mild tasting white fish
lemon slices
orange slices
Dill
Onions
salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 350. Salt and pepper the fish on both sides.
- Place onion on bottom of parchment paper. Aluminum foil can be used. Then place fish on top of onions.
- Place lemon and orange slices on top of fish and then top off with fresh dill.
- Fold parchment paper so that the ends and top are securely closed to allow the fish to steam. Place in pan and bake for 20-30 depending on size of fish.
- If another veggie is to be eaten- say aspargus with lemon pepper, then discard onions along with the lemon slices, orange slices and dill. If not, then enjoy with the onions.
- Fennel bulbs sliced thinly instead of onions will give fish a slight anise flavor. If choosing fennel bulbs then substitute thyme, oregano, rosemary or other herb for the dill.
