Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 skinless flounder or sole fillets (each 5 to 6 ounces and about 1/2 inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
6 ounces thin asparagus, trimmed, lower halves peeled (if using thicker asparagus, halve lengthwise)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Fold two 13-by-19-inch sheets of parchment in half from short ends to create a crease in each; unfold. Place each fillet to one side of a sheet, abuttingcrease; generously season with salt and pepper. Scatter mushrooms, asparagus, and onion evenly around fillets. Drizzle each fillet with 2 tablespoons wine. Scatter butter evenly over fish and vegetables; season with salt and pepper.
  • Fold each sheet over fish and vegetables. Starting on one side, roll bottom side of parchmentup and over top side to seal; continue working around until pouch is sealed in a half-moonshape. Transfer both pouches to a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Steam-roast until parchment puffs and darkens slightly and fish is just cooked through, 10 to12 minutes. Carefully rip open pouches (scalding steam will be released) and serve.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it's always a hit with my family. The fish is always flaky and moist, and the vegetables are cooked to perfection.

This dish was an absolute delight! The flounder was cooked to perfection, and the asparagus and shiitakes were bursting with flavor. The parchment paper cooking method really locked in the moisture and made for a tender and juicy fish.
