Categories     Seafood     Fish

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups frozen precooked rice (such as InnovAsian®)
24 pitted green olives, roughly chopped
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 orange, juiced
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound cod, cut into 4 pieces
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 thin slices orange
2 tablespoons chopped toasted almonds
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut four 12x15-inch sheets of parchment paper. Fold each in half widthwise and reopen.
  • Mix rice, green olives, chicken broth, orange juice, orange zest, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
  • Spoon 3/4 cup of the rice mixture onto 1 side of each parchment rectangle, near the crease. Lay 1 piece of cod on top. Drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over fish; lay 1 orange slice on top.
  • Fold empty half of parchment over cod and rice mixture; crimp edges together with overlapping folds to seal. Arrange packets close together on a sheet pan.
  • Roast on the center rack of the preheated oven until cod flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 17 minutes. Unfold 1 edge of the parchment, being careful to avoid steam, and look inside to check doneness.
  • Open packets carefully, being careful to avoid steam. Slide cod and rice mixture into bowls. Garnish with almonds and parsley.

Wow! Just wow! I'm not usually a fan of fish, but these packets converted me. The lemon-herb sauce was tangy and aromatic, and the rice was cooked to perfection. Definitely a keeper recipe.
