This is a method of cooking that infuses the fish with intense flavor.
Depending on your taste you can use a variety of herbs and cooking liquids to please any palate. To make it even better the whole meal can be made in a single pouch for 1 or for a crowd.
Pre heat oven to 400 degrees
baking sheet
Directions
Tear enough aluminum foil large enough to wrap around fish allowing enough room around fish for steam to circulate. About 1/2 inch on each side and 1/4 inch on top.
Arrange fish in the middle of foil, add vegetables, herbs and liquids. To seal the pouch; fold aluminum foil over the fish and seal the edge by folding over twice. Do the same with both ends leaving enough room around fish for steam to circulate. To ensure pouch won't leak bend all 3 seams of pouch slightly upward. Place pouches on baking sheet and bake 20-25 minutes. Let pouches rest 5 minutes before opening. Be careful when opening pouches to avoid steam burns.
