Fish Fillets in Parchment with Asparagus and Orange

 

Fish Fillets in Parchment with
Asparagus and Orange
Absorbing the tastiness of the asparagus and
orange juice, this healthy fish fillet is so flavorful
and tender that you won't believe a diet could
taste this good!

INGREDIENTS:
4  15x15 inch squares parchment paper 
4  5-to-6 ounce fish fillets (such as halibut or cod; each about 1 inch thick) 
12  fresh tarragon leaves 
2  tbsp (¼ stick) butter, cut into 4 pieces 
1  lb slender asparagus spears, trimmed, cut into 1½ inch pieces 
4  tbsp orange juice 

 

DIRECTIONS:

1.  Preheat oven to 400ºF. 
2.  Place parchment squares on work surface. Generously butter half of each parchment 
  square; top buttered half of each with 1 fish fillet. 
3.  Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper; top each fillet with 3 tarragon leaves, then 1 piece 
  of butter. 
4.  Arrange asparagus around each fish fillet; pour 1 tbsp orange juice over each. 
5.  Fold parchment over fish and asparagus, folding and crimping edges tightly to seal and 
  enclose filling completely. 
6.  Place on 2 rimmed baking sheets, spacing apart.
7.  Bake fish packets 17 minutes. Slide packets onto plates and serve.
