Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sheets 12-inch-wide heavy-duty foil (each about 15 inches long)
two 6-ounce red snapper fillets, pin bones removed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
6 very thin lemon slices (about 1/16 inch thick)
Accompaniment if desired: Vegetable Couscous with Black Olives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500°F. and heat a baking sheet in lower third of oven 5 minutes.
  • Fold each sheet of foil in half crosswise to crease, and then unfold.
  • On a plate coat red snapper fillets with oil and sprinkle with pepper and salt to taste. On each sheet of foil put 1 fillet to one side of crease and sprinkle with 2 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, and half of any oil remaining on plate. Top each fillet with 3 lemon slices.
  • Working with 1 foil package (papillote) at a time, fold left half of foil over fillet. Starting at 1 corner of crease, fold edge of foil over in triangles, following a semicircular oath around fillet (each fold should overlap previous one), smoothing out folds as you go and tucking last ford under, until papillote is completely sealed. Put papillotes on hot baking sheet and bake in middle of oven 5 minutes.
  • Serve papillotes with couscous.
