Bright, zippy, complex, and dynamic—these are the flavor tenets I look for in any dish. Did I mention a simple preparation too? It’s a tall order but this white fish recipe in parchment with olives, potatoes, and citrus is a weekly standard in my household because it checks off all of those boxes! However, getting this recipe to a place that I feel good about took some time, okay years, to perfect.
Cooking in parchment is known to infuse flavor as it steams the fish in a sealed envelope but I always felt the results never met my expectations. But, by cooking the potatoes confit in olive oil, shallots, garlic, olives, chili, and citrus I have finally cracked the flavor code yielding the dreamiest burst of flavor on your palate. Welcome to your favorite new weeknight meal and one that can be prepared in advance and even better—leftover confit potatoes are heavenly in your morning frittata!
And since you always ask I’ve made things simpler for you—my entire Mytheresa.com look is available here, on eye-swoon.com along with the recipe and video! Happy cooking! I hope you enjoy this white fish recipe in parchment as much as I do.
