Honey Delights the Summer Table
Delightful summertime recipes featuring local honey
Medium
En papillote means cooked inside an airtight paper or aluminum foil wrapping. It is a great way to prepare fish as it holds in the moisture while it bakes.
Ingredients
Ingredients per serving
- 1 small fish filet
- a pinch of salt and pepper
- a sprinkle of turmeric
- a pinch Herbes de Provence
- 1 lemon, cut in half, for its juice
- 2 lemon slices
- 2 tablespoons crème fraîche
- 2 teaspoons Orange Blossom Honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
Lay each filet in the middle a piece of foil or parchment paper large enough to completely enclose the fish. Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, turmeric and a tiny pinch of Herbes de Provence.
Squeeze a squirt of lemon juice over the filet, then lay your 2 lemon slices on each portion. Spoon a tablespoon of crème fraîche (or a dollop of rich yogurt, or a bit of heavy cream) on each lemon slice. Top with a drizzle of honey.
Lastly, dribble a tablespoon of olive oil over the filet and form your pouch, paying particular attention to the sides so the
juices don’t seep out. (Hint: Some people like to staple shut a parchment packet.)
Place on a baking sheet and put in the oven at 350° for 20 minutes.
Serve straight from the oven with rice or steamed potatoes to soak up all that wonderful sauce.
