Ingredients for Asparagus Fish Dinner Parcels

  • White Fish Fillet
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Asparagus Spears
  • Tomatoes
  • Green Onions
  • Fresh Dill
  • Salt And Pepper

How to Make Asparagus Fish Dinner Parcels

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut four 12 x 13-inch rectangles of parchment paper.
  3. Lay each rectangle flat and fold in half lengthwise; crease to create a center line.
  4. Open each rectangle. Arrange one fish fillet on one half of each rectangle, leaving some space from the edge.
  5. Drizzle each fillet evenly with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  6. Place four asparagus spears on top of each fillet.
  7. Evenly sprinkle 1/8 cup of the halved cherry tomatoes, 1/16 cup of the red onion, and 1/2 tablespoon of the fresh herbs over the asparagus.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  9. Fold the other half of the parchment paper over the filling to completely enclose it.
  10. Seal completely by making a double 1/2-inch fold on all cut edges, creating a tight parcel.
  11. Place the parcels on a baking sheet.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the asparagus is crisp-tender.
  13. Carefully remove the parcels from the oven. Let them rest for 2 minutes before opening.
  14. Serve immediately on individual plates, and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
