Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 (0,25-inch-thick) tomato slices (from 3-4 medium tomatoes)
  • 8 kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, pitted and thinly sliced
  • zest from 1/2 orange, removed in long wide strips with a vegetable peeler and cut crosswise into very thin strips
  • 800 g red snapper fillets
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 2 ml red pepper flakes
  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Put a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 500°F.Cut four 12-by-15-inch sheets of parchment paper (or foil).
  • 2
    Fold each sheet crosswise in half to crease, then unfold.
  • 3
    Season fish with salt and pepper and put 1 fillet to right of crease on each sheet.
  • 4
    Top each fillet with 3 tomato slices, one quarter of olives, 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, one quarter each of butter and zest, and 1 herb sprig.
  • 5
    Working with one package at a time, fold left half of parchment over fillet.
  • 6
    Starting at one corner of crease, fold edge of parchment over in triangles (each fold should overlap previous one), following a semicircular path around fillet, smoothing out folds as you go and tucking last fold under to seal papillote completely.Heat a large baking sheet in oven for 5 minutes.
  • 7
    Put papillotes on hot baking sheet and bake for 9 minutes.To serve, transfer packets to four plates; with a knife, slit top of each packet and tear it to expose fish (use caution: steam will escape).
  • 8
    Slide fish and sauce onto plates and discard paper.
  • Ready !
