Fish En Papillote Recipe
Ingredients
| Flounder | 12 Ounce, frozen | |
| Carrots | 2 Medium, cut into strips | |
| 4 15 x 12-inch pieces parchment paper | ||
| 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard | ||
| Honey | 1/2 Teaspoon | |
| 1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning | ||
| Medium | 2/3 Cup (16 tbs), thinly sliced | |
Directions
Thaw fish, if frozen.
Cut fish into 4 equal portions.
Rinse; pat dry with paper towels.
In a small covered saucepan cook the carrots in a small amount of boiling water about 4 minutes or till nearly tender.
Drain well.
To assemble each package, fold each piece of parchment paper in half crosswise.
From each, cut out a half-heart shape 6 inches longer and 2 inches wider than the fish.
Open each heart-shape piece of paper.
Place a fish portion on the right half of each heart, tucking under any thin edges of the fish.
In a small mixing bowl stir together mustard, honey and lemon-pepper seasoning.
Spread mustard mixture over fish portions.
Top with the carrots and leeks.
Fold left half of each heart over the fish, matching edges.
Starting at the top of each heart, seal the packages by folding the edges together in a double fold.
Fold only a small section at a time to ensure a tight seal.
Then twist the tip of each heart to seal the packages.
Place the packages on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake in a 450° oven for for 12 to 15 minutes or just till fish begins to flake easily and the paper puffs up (carefully open paper to check doneness).
