Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 4- to 5-ounce piece of swordfish or boneless fillet of sea bass, snapper, salmon or haddock
1/2 medium potato, diced
1 scallion sliced diagonally in half-inch slices
1 thick slice of tomato, diced
3 or 4 long thin strips of red or yellow bell pepper
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Pull out a square of heavy-duty aluminum foil to make a loose packet around the fish and vegetables. Smear half a teaspoon of oil on the foil and set the fish in the middle.
  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil and throw in the potato dice. Bring back to a boil and cook for 4 or 5 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender. Drain immediately.
  • Pile the parboiled potato dice, scallions, tomato dice and pepper strips on the fish. Sprinkle with remaining oil and lemon juice, adding salt and pepper. Pull up the sides of the foil and seal. The packets may be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated, but bring them to room temperature before cooking.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the packets on a cookie sheet in the oven and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

These fish pockets were amazing! The fish was cooked perfectly and the breading was crispy and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish pockets turned out really greasy. I think I might have used too much oil.

These fish pockets were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I've always had great results. The fish is always cooked perfectly and the breading is always crispy.

These fish pockets were a disappointment. The fish was dry and the breading was soggy.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but I thought these were pretty good. The breading was crispy and the fish was moist.

These fish pockets were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The fish is flaky and moist, and the breading is crispy and flavorful. I highly recommend it!

These fish pockets were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and tasted delicious. I used cod fillets, but I think any type of white fish would work well.
