Grouper En Papillote With Basil Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the fish fillet on a piece of parchment paper and sprinkle it with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the top of the fillet. Lay the thyme on top and place the olives next to the fillet.
• Beat the egg together with 1 tablespoon of water for an egg wash. Brush the egg wash around the edge of the parchment paper and fold it in half. Carefully fold the edge of the parchment paper under and around the fish to make a package. Place the package on a sheet pan and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through. Serve hot in the parchment paper.

Steps:

• Set oven control to broil. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place fish fillets on cookie sheet. Sprinkle both sides of fillets evenly with salt and 1 teaspoon of the pepper.
• Broil about 10 to 15 minutes until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Meanwhile, in large skillet, melt butter over low heat. Add garlic and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook and stir until garlic is fragrant. Add wine; heat to boiling over medium-low heat. Boil until sauce is reduced by half. Stir in whipping cream and basil. Simmer until thickened.
• To serve, place broiled grouper on individual plates. Top with cream sauce.

Steps:

• Combine all of the butter ingredients together and stir until well blended. Take four is-inch squares of parchment paper and fold each one in half. Place a grouper fillet on the left side of each piece of paper (right side if you're left-handed). Place a spoon of basil butter on each fillet and top with 2 slices of tomato. Add lemon slice bay leaf, salt and pepper. Fold right side of parchment paper over the grouper and starting at the top, make one-inch folds all along the edge of the packet until it's completely sealed. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Put the four packets on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Place each packet on a dinner plate and slice open the top with knife or scissors.
