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
  1. Rinse the fish with cool water, and pat fillets dry with paper towels.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
