LOUP DE MER EN PAPILLOTE (BAKED SEA BASS WRAPPED IN PAPER)

To wrap fish in parchment paper will protect the against the high heat. The steam can still escape, but the fluids and the flavours are kept inside. You can use almost any fish with this technique, but I would suggest to use whole fish. Serve the fish still wrapped in paper and "open" it on the table. A burst of wonderful flavours will escape. Serve it with some bread to dip up the wonderful flavoured juices.

Time 35m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (1 lb) sea bass (gut and scales removed)
3 sprigs fresh rosemary (about 5 to 6 inches long)
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 lemon slices (optional)
salt
olive oil, for parchment paper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven (390° F, 200° C).
  • Pepare a parchment paper large enough to wrap the fish. Spread a little of the olive oil where you will put the fish on.
  • Crush the black peppercorns a little in a mortar and pestal, but it should be coarse though.
  • Remove from one rosemary sprig, the leaves. You can chop them, but I prefer to leave the small leaves as they are.
  • Clean the fish and brush both sides with olive oil. Salt to taste (inside and outside).
  • Put 2 sprigs of rosemary into the cavity and also add a small piece of butter. If you like, put 2 slices of lemon into the cavity too.
  • Sprinkle a little of black pepper and rosemary leaves onto the parchment paper and then place the fish on it.
  • Cover the fish with the rest of black pepper and the rosemary leaves.
  • Squash the garlic cloves (do not peel them) and place them on top of fish. Cut the butter into small pieces and arrange on top of fish too.
  • Wrap the parchment paper around the fish to make a package. Fold over the edges to seal the package.
  • Brush a little of the olive oil over the paper. This will protect it from burning.
  • Put the package on a baking tray and bake for about 25 minutes.
  • Serve the fish hot in the package.
  • NOTE: use smaller fish for this recipe.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 (6-ounce) fillets black sea bass or striped bass (1/2 to 1 1/4 inches thick) with skin
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 thin lemon slices (less than 3/4 inch thick; from 1 large lemon)
8 sprigs fresh thyme
2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
12 cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 tablespoons drained bottled capers

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil, then drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Pat fish dry and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange fillets, skin sides down, in 1 layer in center of foil on baking sheet and slide 2 lemon slices under each fillet. Arrange 2 thyme sprigs on top of each fillet.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté garlic, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and a pinch of salt and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are softened, about 1 minute. Stir in capers.
  • Spoon hot tomato mixture over fish, then cover with another sheet of foil, tenting it slightly over fish, and crimp edges together tightly to seal.
  • Bake until fish is just cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness of fish); check by removing from oven and carefully lifting up a corner of top sheet of foil, pulling up sides of bottom sheet to keep liquid from running out. If fish is not cooked through, reseal foil and continue to bake, checking every 3 minutes.
  • Transfer fillets with lemon slices to plates using a spatula (be careful not to tear foil underneath) and spoon tomatoes and juices over top. Serve immediately, discarding thyme before eating.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Choose the Right Fish: For this recipe, it's best to use a firm-fleshed fish like sea bass or cod. Other good choices include halibut, tilapia, or sole.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your fish liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance its natural flavor.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, and rosemary add a delicious pop of flavor to this dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less since they are more concentrated.
  • Don't Overcook the Fish: Sea bass is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. The best way to tell if it's done is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If it flakes easily, it's ready.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's cooked. The fish will be at its most tender and flavorful at this point.

Conclusion:

Loup de mer en papillote is a classic French dish that is both elegant and delicious. It's a great choice for a special occasion dinner or a romantic meal for two. The delicate flavor of the sea bass is perfectly complemented by the aromatic herbs and vegetables. And the parchment paper cooking method helps to keep the fish moist and succulent. If you're looking for a new way to cook fish, I highly recommend trying this recipe.
