How to Make Fish Cooked In Parchment Pesce Al Cartoccio

  1. Clean the fish cavity thoroughly.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Place a large sheet of parchment paper (approximately 18x18 inches) skin-side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves.
  4. Place the fish (approximately 1 pound) on the parchment paper.
  5. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  6. Place half of the minced garlic (1 clove), half of the remaining rosemary (1/2 tablespoon), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper inside the fish cavity.
  7. Sprinkle the outside of the fish with the remaining 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  8. Fold the parchment paper over the fish to completely enclose it, creating a sealed packet. Crimp the edges tightly to prevent steam from escaping.
  9. Place the parchment packet in the preheated oven and bake for 17 minutes.
  10. Carefully flip the packet and bake for another 17 minutes.
  11. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before opening.
  12. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
