A snapper treat
August/September 2007
Yield: 4 servings
- 4 snapper fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 2 teaspoons crushed fresh garlic
- 2 cups snow peas
- 2 cups sliced carrots
- ¼ cup chopped scallions
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons flavored bread crumbs
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- Rinse the fish with cool water, and pat fillets dry with paper towels.
- Cut 4 8-by-2-inch pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, and center a fillet on the lower half of each piece. Spread ½ teaspoon of garlic over each fillet, and top with ½ cup of snow peas, ½ cup of carrots, 1 tablespoon of scallions, 2 teaspoons of dill, ½ tablespoon of bread crumbs, a sprinkle of pepper, and 1 tablespoon of wine.
- Fold the upper half of the foil over the fish to meet the bottom half. Seal each edge by making a tight half-inch fold; then fold again to double-seal. Allow some space for baking snapper to expand.
- Arrange the pouches on a baking pan or the oven rack, and bake at 450° for about 20 minutes, until the thickest part of the fish is easily flaked with a fork. Open each packet carefully and allow steam to escape. Serve hot.
