Cabillaud en Papillote (Cod Baked in Parchment with Vegetables)
Cabillaud en Papillote (Cod Baked in Parchment with Vegetables) is French home cooking, eaten at dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 1.25 lb cod fillets
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 leek, thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Preheat the oven to 400 F and cut four large squares of parchment paper.
- Divide the sliced zucchini, carrot, leek, and cherry tomatoes among the parchment squares.
- Set a cod fillet on top of the vegetables on each square, season with the salt and pepper, drizzle with the olive oil, and add a lemon slice and a thyme sprig to each.
- Fold the parchment over the fish and vegetables and crimp the edges tightly to seal each packet.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the fish flakes easily, then let everyone open their own packet at the table; a genuinely everyday light dinner in French homes, not a restaurant dish at all.
