Fish in Parchment Paper
After providing a lot of vegetable recipes recently, we felt it was time to think about different ways to prepare fish. Although we had planned to include a recipe for fish cooked on the grill with fresh herbs, we realized that we need to fix it again and actually write down the amounts of the various ingredients. Instead, we have included a fish fillet recipe that is cooked in parchment paper (available at most of the local cooking supply stores). The five peppercorn blend (black Tellecherry, black malabar, white montok, green Brazilian and baises roses) adds a unique flavor to this recipe and it is worth tracking down a bottle. We used pink snapper for this dish, but any type of firm fillet will work. This is an especially good way to prepare strong-flavored fish.
The salad and vegetable for this meal are combined in a way that we haven't seen before. Since lettuce is still in season, we have experimented with a variety of salads recently and this mixture of lettuce and potatoes works very well. The healthy aspect of the meal ended when we decided to include the cheesecake recipe (but only as a base for the wonderful strawberries that are available now). This is a great recipe, and one that has been around so long that while we no longer remember the source, we can highly recommend it.
