To make this Fish In Parchment, Ina starts by preheating the oven to 400 degrees. She places the fish fillet on parchment paper, seasons it, and drizzles lemon juice and olive oil over the top. She adds a sprig of thyme and olives next to the fillet. She prepares an egg wash, brushes it around the paper’s edge, folds the paper in half, and seals it. The package goes on a sheet pan and into the oven for 12 to 15 minutes. The fish is served hot, right in the parchment paper.
Ina Garten Fish In Parchment Ingredients
- 8 ounces boneless fish fillet (snapper or cod)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon good olive oil
- 1 large sprig of fresh thyme
- 2 Cerignola or other large green olives with pits
- 1 extra-large egg
How To Make Ina Garten Fish In Parchment
- Preheat the Oven: Start by setting your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure the oven rack is in the middle position for even cooking.
- Prepare the Fish: Lay out a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface. Place your fish fillet in the center. Sprinkle the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper evenly over the fish. Then, drizzle the freshly squeezed lemon juice and high-quality olive oil on top.
- Add Herbs and Olives: Take a large sprig of fresh thyme and lay it directly on top of the seasoned fish. Place two Cerignola or other large green olives with pits beside the fish fillet on the parchment paper.
- Seal the Package: In a small bowl, beat one extra-large egg and mix it with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to apply this egg wash around the edges of the parchment paper. Fold the paper in half over the fish and carefully crimp the edges to create a sealed package.
- Cook and Serve: Place your sealed parchment package on a baking sheet for stability. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the fish is cooked through. Carefully open the parchment package and serve the fish hot, right from the paper.
What To Serve With Baked Fish
For a well-rounded meal, consider pairing your baked fish with options including Lemon Butter Sauce, Oven Roasted Potatoes, and Sauteed Green Beans. You can also opt for lighter fare like Caesar Salad or more indulgent choices like Twice Baked Potatoes.
How To Store Baked Fish
In The Fridge:
To store baked fish in the fridge, place it in an airtight container and keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days. Make sure the fish has cooled down to room temperature before sealing it in the container. This will help maintain its texture and flavor.
In The Freezer:
If you plan to store the baked fish for a longer period, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. Store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Make sure to label the bag with the date for easy reference.
How To Reheat Baked Fish
To reheat baked fish, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the fish in an oven-safe dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Heat for about 10-15 minutes or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This method helps retain moisture and flavor.
