HALIBUT EN PAPILLOTE WITH LEMON AND WHITE WINE
This has to be the easiest way to cook fish - it's wrapped up in a package, making its own sauce and doesn't smell up your kitchen. You can cook it your oven or air fryer. Easy AND tidy - you have to love that!

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 400˚ F.
- Cut out 2 large squares of parchment paper - about 13-inches by 15-inches each. Place a fillet of halibut on one half of each piece of paper. Season the fish very well with salt and pepper. Top each fillet with lemon slices and thyme sprigs. Brush the outer rim of the parchment squares with the beaten egg white. Dot each fillet with 1 tablespoon of butter and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of white wine on each piece of fish.
- Fold up each parchment square by folding one half of the paper over onto the other half and press together. Make a series of straight folds on the outer rim of the squares to seal the edge together.
- Place the two packages onto a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes or, cook in the air fryer for 10 minutes each. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to cook them one package at a time. The package should be puffed up and slightly browned when fully cooked. The fish should feel firm to the touch (you can often, carefully, press on the fish through the paper).
- You can serve these simply with the parchment paper already cut open to reveal the insides, have your guests cut open the packages at the table, or remove the parchment completely, transferring the tasty insides to a plate.

GRILLED HALIBUT SIMPLY DELICIOUS
This is a Greek version of grilled halibut. Yes I know halibut is not Greek but it's the flavors and simplicity of cooking that is Greek. Flavored with olive oil, lemon, garlic and Greek oregano. You can use halibut steak which can handle the grill better.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add the olives, capers, garlic and anchovy to a food processor. Add 1/2 cup olive oil and black pepper to taste. Process to form a silky paste with small pieces of olive and capers remaining, 15 to 20 seconds. Drizzle in more olive oil as needed. Remove the tapenade from the carafe, then drizzle with olive oil and set aside.
- Drizzle the center of each of 4 large circles of parchment paper with some olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top each piece with a thin layer of fennel and some leeks. Top each with a dollop of the olive tapenade and 2 to 3 lemon slices. Lay the fish on top of the lemon slices and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold the parchment in half to cover the fish, then crimp the edges shut, being sure to cover the corner of each previous fold. When you are halfway through folding, add 1 tablespoon of white wine to each packet, then continue to fold until the entire package is formed and closed. Place each packet on a baking sheet.
- Bake the fish for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, then place each packet on a plate. Cut open the top of the paper to expose the fish. Garnish each fillet with the Calabrian chiles and basil. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality halibut: Look for halibut that is firm to the touch and has a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has an off odor.
- Use parchment paper or aluminum foil: Parchment paper is preferred because it is more eco-friendly and allows the fish to cook more evenly. However, aluminum foil can also be used.
- Season the halibut generously: Use a variety of herbs, spices, and citrus to flavor the fish. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic, lemon, dill, and thyme.
- Add vegetables to the packet: Vegetables such as zucchini, tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers can be added to the packet with the halibut. This will add flavor and nutrients to the dish.
- Cook the halibut en papillote until it is just cooked through: The fish should be opaque and flaky when it is done. Overcooking will make the fish dry and tough.
Conclusion:
Grilled halibut en papillote is a delicious and healthy way to cook fish. This cooking method is simple and easy to do, and it results in a moist, flavorful fish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious seafood dish, give grilled halibut en papillote a try.
