TURBOT WITH BROWN BUTTER AND CAPERS
Steps:
- Sprinkle the turbot on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a few tablespoons of canola oil in a large saute pan over high heat. When you see a wisp of smoke, add the fillets to the pan (do not overcrowd the pan to achieve a proper sear, so cook in batches if you have to). Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the butter per fillet to the pan. Cook the turbot on both sides until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes total. Remove to a plate.
- Deglaze the pan with the white wine over medium-high heat and let cook all the way down to a dry pan. Add the remaining butter to the saute pan and cook until slightly golden brown. Add the capers and lemon juice, and then add the fish back to the pan. Baste the fish with some of the sauce to warm. Remove from heat, add the tarragon and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Put each fillet on a plate and spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with the lemon zest and a sprig of tarragon.
FISH EN "PAPILLOTE"
A delicious, easy, and very quick way to prepare fish. It uses aluminum foil as the "papillote", which makes it very easy, and cleanup is even easier! You can use monkfish, black sea bass, grouper, red snapper, turbot, perch....I haven't made it w/ salmon, but it would probably work with that too. If you are watching your cholesterol and don't want to use butter, you can substitute olive oil for it instead.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Rinse fillets under cold water & dry on paper towels. Tear off two 15" pieces of aluminum foil & drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil onto half of each piece of foil.
- Pick up one of the fillets & slide it around in the olive oil to coat. Repeat w/ the other side. Repeat this procedure with the other fillet on its own piece of aluminum foil. Season each side of each fillet w/ salt & pepper, drape w/ scallions, parsley & onions, and sprinkle on garlic, lemon zest & capers.
- Sprinkle each fillet w/ 1&1/2 tsp lemon juice and 1&1/2 tsp white wine and top each with (pieces of) one tbsp of butter. Place the grape tomatoes, cut side down, on top of each fillet.
- Fold each foil sheet over the fish & vegetables. Fold and crimp the edges to seal them and make tight packets. Place the packets on a cookie sheet w/ sides and bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Place each foil packet in a soup plate or bowl, & open by slitting the uncrimped side with a knife or scissors, and gently slide the contents, with its liquid, into the dish.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a large piece of parchment paper or foil that is at least twice the size of the fish.
- Do not overcrowd the papillote with vegetables, as this can prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
- Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and color to the dish.
- Season the fish and vegetables generously with salt and pepper, and add any other desired herbs or spices.
- Seal the papillote tightly to prevent steam from escaping.
- Bake the papillote in a preheated oven until the fish is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes per inch of thickness.
- Open the papillote carefully to avoid steam burns.
- Serve the fish immediately with the vegetables and any desired sauce.
Conclusion:
Turbot en papillote is a delicious and healthy way to cook fish. It is a simple dish to prepare, and the results are always impressive. The parchment paper or foil seals in the moisture and flavors of the fish and vegetables, resulting in a tender, flaky fish that is cooked to perfection.
