Cod in parchment with tomato and basil salsa topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 220 g cherry tomatoes, quartered (about 2 cups)
- 2 tsp capers, chopped, drained
- 4 tbsp. l. olive oil
- 1 tsp. grated lemon zest + 1 tbsp. l. juice
- 2 tsp chopped shallots
- 2 tbsp chopped basil
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (defrosted)
- 220g green beans, trimmed and cut diagonally into 2.5cm pieces.
- 4 skinless cod fillets (180 g each)
- 2 tbsp (30 g) butter, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp. dry white wine
- Special equipment: parchment paper
Preparation:
- Position 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 200°C. Cut 4 sheets of parchment paper, each 40 cm long.
- In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, capers, 3 tablespoons olive oil, lemon zest and juice, shallots, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Fold each sheet in half and open it like a book. Place the parchment sheets on two baking sheets (two on each).
- In a bowl, toss the corn and green beans with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a small amount of ground black pepper. Divide the mixture evenly among 4 parchment sheets, placing the mixture on one side of the fold. Sprinkle each cod fillet with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and place on top of the vegetables. Top with pats of butter and a drizzle of wine.
- Cover the top with half the parchment, pressing and pleating small folds along the open edge to seal tightly. Bake until the parchment is puffed, about 15 minutes; the fish will be tender and cooked through. Arrange the parcels on plates. Carefully unfold the parchment, being careful not to burn yourself with steam. Spoon the tomato-basil salsa over each piece of fish and serve immediately.
