Fish ala Hobbes

Cooking fish in parchment paper produces really wonderful moist fish every time.

You can use any kind of fish, but remember the thicker the fish the longer you have to cook it. I find that salmon takes about 40 minutes with the oven at 350 degrees.

Here’s how:
Lay out a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface. Then place a small amount of thinly sliced onions in the middle. Lay a fillet of salmon on top, skin and pin bones removed. Season with a good amount of sea salt and pepper, then place a handful of cherry tomatoes that have been quartered, some thinly sliced red bell pepper, a three finger pinch of fresh dill, stems removed, two pieces of thinly sliced lemon, add a large knob of butter and a little extra virgin olive oil.

Close the packet up, so the moisture stays inside, if you have problems with folding up the edges, try using large steel paper clips. Place the packet of fish on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven for about 40 minutes or until cooked.

I served our fish with a roasted cauliflower and white bean puree, but it works just as well with rice.

Bon Appetit! Chef Hobbes
