This recipe accompanies Day 3 of the Koni 3 Day Detox.

Cooking en papillote a fancy French term for wrapped in parchment. It's a low-fat way to prepare moist and flavorful fish. The fish is enclosed in paper and steams in its own juices and other delicious ingredients that are added. Vegetables, spices and fish will cook together in a beautifully wrapped package. You can also use foil instead of parchment paper, but do not add anything acidic. The acid will react with the foil and leave an unpleasant after taste.

Ingredients:

  • 2 - 12 squares of parchment paper
  • Extra virgin olive oil or olive oil spray
  • 2 - 4 ounce fillets of white fish (such as sole or snapper)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 ounces brewed Koni Queen Jasmine Pearl tea
  • 1/2 lemon cut in half
  • Zest of one lemon
  • Zucchini thinly sliced
  • Leeks thinly sliced
  • Bell peppers thinly sliced
  • 2 sprigs of dill, or about 1/2 teaspoon dried dill


    Directions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, F.
    2. Fold each square of parchment in half and cut into a heart shape.
    3. Open each heart and brush lightly with extra virgin olive oil or spray with olive oil spray.
    4. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper. Set aside.
    5. Thinly slice all veggies, lightly spray them with olive oil and toss with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper and the lemon zest.
    6. Divide the veggies in half. Put half of the veggies on one side of the heart
    7. Put one piece of fish on top of each bundle of veggies. Top with a few veggies, a sprig of dill, a generous squeeze of lemon and a light drizzle of olive oil. Splash half the brewed Koni Queen Jasmine Pearl tea on top of each piece of fish.
    8. Now, to wrap up these packets: fold the top of the heart over the fish and veggies. At the top end of the heart, away from the point, fold up both edges (top and bottom) and crease well. Move down about 1/2 inch and fold up the edges, overlapping your first fold. Continue folding and creasing all around the parchment heart until you get to the point. Fold and crease the point twice. You now have successfully wrapped your fish en papillote.
    9. Place the packets side by side on a baking sheet, making sure the packets aren't touching.
    10. Bake in the center of the oven until the packets are well puffed and the fish is cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
